The Triple Crown of Snooker is the term used for the players of professional snooker who in their careers have won the World Championship, The Masters and The UK Championship.

These players include:

• Stephen Hendry
• Ronnie O'Sullivan
• John Higgins
• Steve Davis
• Mark Williams
• Alex Higgins
• Terry Griffiths

Alex Higgins and Terry Griffiths both won the UK Championship before it became a ranking event.

Only Stephen Hendry, Steve Davis and Mark Williams have won all three Triple Crown events in a single season, and Stephen Hendry is the sole player to have achieved this feat twice, in the 1989/1990 and 1995/1996 seasons.
