List of snooker players by number of ranking titles

none

none

This is a list of professional snooker players ordered by the number of "ranking titles" they have won. A ranking title is a tournament that counts towards the snooker world rankings. World rankings were introduced in the 1976–77 season, initially based on the results from the previous three World Championships. This meant that the 1974 World Championship retrospectively became the first ranking event, won by Ray Reardon.

Until 1982, the World Championship was the only ranking event. In the 1982–83 season, two more ranking events were added to the snooker calendar: the International Open and the Professional Players Tournament. In 1984, the UK Championship, initially a non-ranking tournament, became a ranking event for the first time. More ranking tournaments were established over the years. In the 2018–19 season, there were twenty events worth ranking points.

List of winners

:Following the 2025 Scottish Open Ronnie O'Sullivan holds the record for the most ranking titles, with 41. He surpassed Stephen Hendry's previous record of 36 by winning the 2020 World Snooker Championship.

Minor-ranking tournaments

In 1992–93 and from the 2010–11 to the 2015–16 season there were a number of tournaments which contributed to the world rankings but at a lower rate than standard ranking tournaments. Wins in these tournaments are referred to as "minor-ranking titles". There were a total of 69 minor-ranking tournaments; four in the 1992–93 season with the remainder played from 2010 to 2016 as part of the Players Tour Championship.

Mark Selby had the most wins in minor-rankings events with seven. Mark Allen was second with five titles.
