Trevor Marsicano (born April 5, 1989) is an American speed skater and silver medalist in the Winter Olympics.

At the 2010 Winter Olympics, Marsicano won a silver medal for his part in the team pursuit. He did not skate in the final but did skate in the quarterfinals with Chad Hedrick and Jonathan Kuck.

Marsicano's breakthrough performance was at the 2009 World Single Distance Championships where he won four medals (one gold, one silver, two bronze). Overall, Marsicano has won two golds, one silver, and two bronze at the World Championships. Marsicano has also won the overall bronze at the World Junior Championships.

Marsicano started playing ice hockey, but switched to short track speed skating at a young age with the Saratoga Winter Club. In 2004, he suffered a very deep open wound to his thigh during a fall with another skater. After his rehabilitation, he changed to long track speed skating.

At his debut at the 2007 World Junior Championships, Marsicano won the overall bronze medal, the first medal won by an American since 1993. The following year at the 2008 World Junior Championships, he finished fourth. At his first senior World Allround in the same year, he finished in 20th place.

At the 2009 World Allround Championships, Marsicano finished 5th, only being beaten by Sven Kramer, Håvard Bøkko, Enrico Fabris and Wouter olde Heuvel.
