John Higgins MBE (born 18 May 1975) is a Scottish professional snooker player from Wishaw in North Lanarkshire.

Over his career, he has won 31 ranking titles, placing him in third position on the all-time list of ranking event winners. He has four World Championships, three UK Championships and two Masters titles under his belt.
