Eric Koston (born April 29, 1975 in Bangkok, Thailand) is an American professional skateboarder.
Koston is also known for creating his own trick, the Fandangle, a one-footed nose grind, which quickly found itself in magazines and in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2.
However, Koston admits the trick was the result of quick photography and a bailed trick on his part - as he was trying to avoid injury from a failed grind, Koston leaped off of his board, giving the appearance that he was in fact grinding with one foot.

According to Koston, ownership opportunities were a driving force behind his decision to leave éS: “I invested a huge piece of my life as a skateboarder into éS. I felt that I was a major cornerstone in the company.
