Jeanette Lee, born Lee Jin-Hee on July 9, 1971, is an American professional pool player nicknamed the Black Widow, because she always wore black and played with ruthless focus despite a sweet demeanor. Born in Brooklyn to Korean immigrant parents, she started playing pool in 1989 and went on to rank as the number one female pool player in the world during the 1990s, winning the Women's Professional Billiard Association Sportsperson of the Year award in 1998. She is a U.S. Open nine-ball champion, a WPBA national champion and a trick shot world champion, and she won the gold medal for the United States at the 2001 World Games in Akita. She was inducted into the Billiard Congress of America Hall of Fame in 2013.
