The Lord family is a family of fictional characters from the American soap opera One Life to Live. They are introduced at the show's ABC debut episode July 15, 1968, and featured for the entirety of its canon until the show's final episode released August 19, 2013.

Created by Agnes Nixon, over 40 years of melodrama surrounding the lives and family of wealthy media mogul Victor Lord and his heiress daughter Victoria Lord establish the ensemble of characters as a central fixture throughout the serial. The family primarily resides in fictional Llanview, Pennsylvania, owning communications business Lord Enterprises and its flagship publication, The Banner newspaper.

At the show's debut in July 1968, patriarch Victor Dalby Lord is introduced as the wealthy publisher of the regional newspaper, The Banner, in the fictional Philadelphia Main Line town of Llanview, Pennsylvania, and owner of media conglomerate Lord Enterprises. Victor lives at his ancestral, 18th-century country estate named Llanfair with his daughters Victoria (nicknamed "Viki") and Meredith. Victor's wife and Victoria and Meredith's mother, Eugenia Randolph Lord, dies while giving birth to Meredith. With no son to succeed him, Victor concentrates on grooming elder Viki strictly, with her position as legal heiress to his fortune. As a result of this lifelong pressure, Viki, newly arrived from college, allows herself little time for romantic entanglements, focusing her energy on her inherited media career and her father's approval. Conversely, frail and emotional, yet free-spirited Meredith, all but overlooked by Victor, sought escape from his oppression and the future he had laid out for his daughters.
