Ding Junhui (Born 1 April 1987) is a Chinese professional snooker player and has been considered the most successful Asian player in the history of the sport. He began playing snooker at age 9, and rose to international prominence in 2002 after winning the Asian Under-21 Championship, the Asian Championship, and becoming the youngest winner of the IBSF World Under-21 Championship at age 15.

Ding turned professional in 2003, at the age of 16.

Ding is the 2016 Six-red World Champion, and has won a total of 12 major ranking titles, the most recent being the 2017 World Open. In the 2013/2014 season, Ding equalled Stephen Hendry's record of winning five ranking titles in a single season.
