Abe Cunningham, born in Long Beach, California in 1969, is an American musician.

His band Deftones are based in Sacramento, California, where they enjoyed the early sponsorship of local favourites Korn. With that band they also shared a fan community drawn from skateboarders. The members of the band actually met while skateboarding, and their first rehearsals together took place in 1989, where they jammed on rough versions of Danzig's "Twist Of Cain". Chino Moreno's Deftones albums are: Anger (1991) and then the LPs are Adrenaline (1995), Around The Fur (1997), White Pony (2000), and their 4th LP Lovers (2003).
