Viktor Vasilievich Zhluktov (Russian: Виктор Васильевич Жлуктов, born January 26, 1954) is a Russian former professional ice hockey player who played for CSKA Moscow and the Soviet Union.

In the 1976 Canada Cup, Zhluktov scored 5 goals and 4 assists in 5 games, tying him for both the most points (with Bobby Orr and Denis Potvin) and goals (with Milan Nový and Bobby Hull) in the tournament, despite playing two fewer games than the players he tied with.

For a while he played in the same line-up as Vladimir Krutov, Sergei Makarov, Viacheslav Fetisov and Alexei Kasatonov before Igor Larionov replaced him.
