Alien Workshop, is a skateboard company founded in 1990 by Mike Hill and Chris Carter. They are based out of Dayton, Ohio, a departure from the Californian-centric based skateboard industry. They produce decks, wheels, apparel, and other skateboard accessories. Alien Workshop is known for their artistic graphical style with themes of paranoia and futurism often used.

Alien Workshop is owned and distributed by DNA Distribution, which also owns Habitat Skateboards and Reflex Bearings.

Alien Workshop has taken the stance of pro-domestic skateboard manufacturing, opting to get their boards manufactured in North America instead of overseas.

The Alien Workshop team consists of Anthony Van Engelen, Jason Dill, Heath Kirchart, Steve Berra, Josh Kalis, Rob Dyrdek, Mike Taylor, Grant Taylor, Max Killigrew, Tyler Bledsoe, Omar Salazar and Dylan Rieder.

Past team riders include Bo Turner, Lenny Kirk, Fred Gall, Mark Heintzman, and Danny Way.

They have released three videos, 'Memory Screen', 'Timecode', and 'Photosynthesis' and had a section in Habitat's Mosaic in 2003. They have their own on line store now where all their products can be purchased.
