Jean-Charles Skarbowsky (born March 10, 1975) is a French former kickboxer and 3-times European Muay Thai champion. Skarbowsky has been one of the best farangs who have fought in Thailand.

After a flying start to his career, both in France and Thailand, where he accumulated a number of quick victories, he broke his right hand in 1997 while defending his title again in Europe. After two years of forced shutdown, he resumed his career in 1999 and made a stunning return to the highest level, overcoming the pessimistic diagnosis of the doctors.

He is considered to be one of the greatest Muay Thai fighters

In 2010, Skarbowsky appeared on the twelfth season of the American mixed martial arts reality television show The Ultimate Fighter, where he was the Muay Thai coach on Georges St-Pierre's team. He was shown to have clashed with opposition coach Josh Koscheck, and his students often were amazed by his skill while learning the superior techniques he would apply during sparring.
