Victoria de los Ángeles (in Catalan, Victòria dels Àngels) (1 November 1923 – 15 January 2005) was a Spanish Catalan operatic soprano and recitalist of the highest rank whose career began in the early 1940s and reached its height in the years from the mid-1950s to the mid-1960s. The Times obituary noted that she must be counted “among the finest singers of the second half of the 20th century”.[1] James Hinton Jnr for Opera magazine in 1954[2] praised her "meltingly lovely middle voice". Elizabeth Forbes, writing in The Independent on 17th January 2005, also noted that "It is impossible to imagine a more purely beautiful voice than that of Victoria de los Ángeles at the height of her career in the 1950s and early 1960s".

Her voice could best be described as that of a flexible full lyric soprano with enough weight and volume to sing both lyric and dramatic roles. She also sang some roles more commonly associated with the mezzo-soprano repertoire. In her early years in particular she also sang a good deal of florid music. While she later made fewer appearances in opera, she continued to give recitals, focusing on mostly French and Spanish art songs, into the 1990s.
