Rick McCrank (born January 23, 1976 in Peterborough, Ontario) is a professional skateboarder. He was voted Best Street Skater by TransWorld Skateboarding Magazine in 2000. He co-founded and owns Anti-Social Skateshop and co-owns Momentum Wheels. He is sponsored by Girl Skateboards, éS Footwear, Matix, Nixon, and Anti-Social Skateshop. Rick has designed several pro skate shoe models, including the eS Anti-Social. McCrank has competed and done very well in various contests around the world throughout his career.

Rick grew up in poverty in Ottawa. With skateboarding as his only way out, Rick quickly became sponsored by local skate shops and turned pro in the late '90s for Plan B Skateboards, when he was spotted by pro skater Colin McKay. Rick has had a close friendship with fellow pro Eric Koston for many years.
