Jeremy Klein (born July 12, 1971) is an American artist and former professional skateboarder from Torrance, California. He became well-known as one of the original riders for World Industries, then moved to Tony Hawk's Birdhouse Skateboards. He was among the first pro riders at Birdhouse and retired from the company in 2008.

In 1993, Klein started Hook-Ups, a skate brand known for its anime-style female characters and monsters on products. Hook-Ups was part of Blitz Distribution, which also carried brands like L.E Skateboards, Black Label, and SK8Mafia. The brand began as T-shirts and later expanded to skateboards, shoes, and accessories; by 2025 it sells skateboards, T-shirts, a baseball-cap style hat, and stickers.

Klein has appeared as himself on Tom Green Live! and in the 2007 documentary The Man Who Souled the World, about World Industries founder Steve Rocco.
