Peter Ebdon (born August 27, 1970) is an English professional snooker player.

Ebdon turned professional in 1991, and climbed the rankings rapidly to reach the number three spot in 1996. His best achievement was his 18-17 victory against Stephen Hendry in the 2002 world championship.

Ebdon is an intelligent man with several interests outside snooker, including breeding racehorses, fine wines, and swimming. He is married to Deborah, and they have four children.

He has been criticised for his energetic celebrations when winning matches. He has gathered a lot of support as a result of these demonstrations of emotion - a rare attribute in the game's top ranking players. However, after one particularly exuberant outburst during a match with Stephen Lee on his way to the 2002 world championship, he has toned down his celebrations significantly.
