Mark Anthony Selby (born 19 June 1983) is an English professional snooker player. Ranked world number one on multiple occasions, he has won a total of 25 ranking titles, placing him eighth on the all-time list of ranking tournament winners. He is a four-time World Snooker Champion, and has won the Masters and the UK Championship three times each for a total of ten Triple Crown titles, placing him behind only Ronnie O'Sullivan (23), Stephen Hendry (18) and Steve Davis (15).

After winning the England Under-15 Championship in 1998, Selby turned professional in 1999, aged 16. He made his Crucible debut in 2005, and reached his first World Championship final in 2007, when he was runner-up to John Higgins.

He first became world number one in September 2011, and held onto the top ranking position for just over four years between February 2015 and March 2019. He has compiled more than 900 century breaks in professional competition, including six maximum breaks, one of which is the only one to have been made during the final of the World Championships.
