Victoria Roycroft (née Rose, born 17 April 1953) is an Australian equestrian who competed at three Olympic Games.[1] She was born in Sydney.[1] At the 1984 Games she competed in the three-day eventing, whereas at the 1988 and 1996 Games she competed in the show jumping. She also coached at the 1992 Games.[2]
In 1987, Roycroft, on her horse Apache, won the Rome Grand Prix, the first Australian and first woman to do so.[3]
She was married to fellow triple Olympian Wayne Roycroft from 1976 until their separation in 2000.[1][2][4][5][6] The couple's son Mark died in 2003 at the age of 17 after being caught in a rip off Birdie Beach in the Munmorah State Conservation Area.[2] On 15 April 2023, she reportedly had a heart attack while preparing for a show-jumping competition at the Sydney Royal Easter Show.[7]
In 2000, she received an Australian Sports Medal.[8]
