Ian Anthony Kochinski (born February 14, 1994), better known as Vaush (/vɔːʃ/ ^ⓘ VAWSH), is an American left-wing YouTuber and former Twitch streamer. Kochinski started his online career as a member of streamer Destiny's community, before creating his Twitch channel and YouTube account in 2019. His content consists of commentary on various news and media topics, discussions of men's fashion, video games and urbanist policies. Debates and discussions with various political figures have been a large part of his channel. Noted for his confrontational style, use of memes, and mimicry from right-wing YouTubers, he is regarded as part of the BreadTube community.

Described as a progressive and libertarian socialist, Kochinski is considered a controversial figure online. He has received several bans on Twitch and criticism for various statements, and has also received praise for his sociological content, debates, and charity livestreams.
