Darin Shapiro (born October 25, 1973) is a professional wakeboarder from Orlando, Florida and the winningest rider in the history of the sport of wakeboarding. He has not competed in the pro tour since 2004 season. He currently runs the Ride the Spot wakeboarding camp.

Shapiro appeared in most major Wakeboard movies and influenced the development of the sport. He is considered to be the first rider landing an Air Railey which was named after one of his coaches in Team Hyperlite.

He was the first who do a double-frontflip, known as speedball.

In the early days of the sport Shapiro was riding for Herb O'Brian who founded Hyperlite. The noted "Hyperlite Pro" board was responsible for the tremendous growth of the sport and Shapiro contributed with his demonstrations of excellent riding.
