Joscelin Dent-Pooley (born c. 1995), professionally known as Jerskin Fendrix, is an English composer and musician. The composer of the score for the 2023 film Poor Things, his debut solo album, Winterreise, was released in 2020.

Fendrix was raised near Market Drayton in the West Midlands. Growing up, he listened to a wide variety of music and learned to play violin and piano. He attended Adams' Grammar School in Newport and graduated from Cambridge University with a degree in classical music. 

In 2018, Fendrix wrote the "appropriately abrasive" score for a performance of the play Ubu Roi by Alfred Jarry at the Victoria and Albert Museum.

In December 2018, he collaborated with Black Midi on the song "Ice Cream", which appeared on a charity Christmas compilation, created by Brixton musicians. He released his debut, the critically acclaimed experimental pop album Winterreise, in 2020.

Director Yorgos Lanthimos commissioned Fendrix to write the score for his film Poor Things after hearing Winterreise. It was the first film score Fendrix composed. Among other awards, the score was nominated for Best Original Score at the 96th Academy Awards. Fendrix again collaborated with Lanthimos in composing his 2024 film Kinds of Kindness and his upcoming film Bugonia. Fendrix appeared in both Poor Things and Kinds of Kindness in cameo appearances.

In 2025, Fendrix announced his upcoming second studio album Once Upon a Time in Shropshire, marking his return to original music composition following his success in film scoring.
