Quiksilver is an Australian manufacturer and distributor of sporting goods. It specializes in board sports. It was founded in 1969. Its headquarters are in Huntington Beach, USA. It has an international presence and was initially presented as the surfers' brand.

In 2017, Quiksilver changed its identity to Boardriders, a group also comprising Roxy and DC Shoes, to enable the brand to be more explicit about all the boardriding activities in which it participates. The brand acquired its competitor Bilabong.

In 2019, the group carried out a global reorganization and cut 194 jobs in France.

Its European headquarters are in Saint-Jean-de-Luz.
