Derek Trent (born March 21, 1980) is an American former competitive pair skater.

On November 17, 2007, Vise and Trent landed the first clean throw quadruple salchow jump in international competition.

Competing in ice dancing with Eve Chalom, he won the intermediate-level bronze medal at the U.S.

With his next skating partner, Brandilyn Sandoval, he won the junior bronze medal at the 2001 U.S. Championships.

Very few teams at the highest level rotate in opposite directions because it makes elements like pair spins and twists much more difficult, due to the fact that one partner will have to "force" themself to rotate in the "wrong" direction in order to complete the element (Vise spun his way on twist lifts).

Beginning in the 2006–2007 season, Vise/Trent began attempting a throw quadruple salchow jump in competition.

At the 2006 Skate Canada International, they were credited with fully rotating the element but not with landing it successfully.

During the free skate at the 2007 Trophée Eric Bompard, they became the first-ever pair to successfully execute a throw quad salchow in an international competition.
