Joe Perry, born on 13 August 1974 and nicknamed The Gentleman, is an English snooker player who turned professional in 1992 and retired from the tour at the end of the 2024-25 season after 33 consecutive seasons, now working as a commentator and pundit. On his Crucible debut at the 1999 World Snooker Championship he beat six-time champion Steve Davis on the last black. He won his first ranking title at the 2015 Players Tour Championship Grand Final and a second at the 2022 Welsh Open at the age of 47, then the second-oldest ranking-title winner.
