Horace Lindrum (15 January 1912, Paddington, Sydney, New South Wales - 20 June 1974, Dee Why, Sydney) was an Australian professional snooker and carom billiards player. He was the nephew of Walter Lindrum, a world champion billiards player. He had several nicknames, including "the Ace", "Tikoloshe" (meaning "Witchdoctor"), and "the Peter Pan of snooker".

Lindrum turned pro some time around 1931, and remained in competition until 1957.

Lindrum was beaten three times in the World Snooker Championships between 1936 and 1946 by Joe Davis. In 1952, when most professional players played a separate tournament after disagreements with the governing body, the Billiards Association and Control Council, he won the BA&CC-organised World Championship by beating Clark McConachy 94-49. Nowadays, Lindrum's title win is ignored, with Cliff Thorburn and Ken Doherty usually regarded as the only overseas World Champions.
