Billy Snaddon (born July 7, 1969) is a Scottish former professional snooker player. He reached the World Championship first round five times, but never progressed past this stage. He spent 5 seasons ranked among the game's top 32.

Career

Snaddon turned professional in 1991, but only reached one Ranking final in his thirteen year career, in the 1999 Regal China International. A rank outsider in this tournament, he took out the Top 16 players James Wattana, Ronnie O'Sullivan, Stephen Lee and Stephen Hendry "en route" to the final before losing 3-9 to World Champion John Higgins. He reached the last sixteen of seven ranking events before finally reaching a quarter-final, in the 1998 Irish Open.

Following his first (and only) ranking final in that tournament, Snaddon's form quickly went into decline and he slid back down the rankings again.

Snaddon announced his retirement after a poor 2003-2004 season.
