Virgil Tracy is a fictional character from the 1960s British science-fiction television series Thunderbirds and its associated films. He is the second oldest of the five Tracy brothers, all of whom form the core team of International Rescue.

Virgil's primary role within International Rescue is as the pilot of Thunderbird 2, the organization's heavy-lift aircraft. Thunderbird 2 is crucial for deploying specialized rescue equipment and vehicles to disaster zones worldwide.

Beyond his piloting skills, Virgil is also portrayed as an artist and intellectual. He is a talented pianist and often provides a calm and thoughtful perspective during tense rescue operations. His artistic sensibilities are sometimes highlighted as a contrast to the more action-oriented roles of his brothers.

While not as overtly heroic or physically imposing as his older brother Scott, Virgil's quiet competence and artistic talents make him an integral and valuable member of the International Rescue team.
