Victorian Goth is a substyle of the Goth subculture that draws its aesthetic inspiration directly from the fashion, art, and mourning rituals of the mid-to-late 19th-century Victorian era. The style is defined by its somber elegance and historical silhouettes, aiming to recreate the look of a Victorian aristocrat, often in mourning.

For women, the fashion is characterized by garments such as floor-length gowns made of velvet and lace, corsets, bustles, and accessories like veiled hats and cameo brooches. For men, the look often includes tailcoats, brocade vests, ruffled shirts, and top hats, evoking the image of a Victorian gentleman or undertaker. While it shares a romantic and historical focus with Romantic Goth , Victorian Goth is distinguished by its adherence to the more structured and austere fashion of the later 19th century and its fascination with the period's elaborate culture of death and mourning.

Victorian Goth imagery includes dark-coloured Victorian-era clothing with a dull/greyed background. In Victorian Goth, the fashion and clothing is the focus.
