Snooker world rankings 2017/2018: The professional world rankings for all the professional snooker players, who qualified for the 2017–18 season, are listed below.

The following table contains the rankings which were used to determine the seedings for certain tournaments. Note that the list given below are just those rankings that are used for seeding tournaments. Other rankings are produced after each ranking event which are not noted here.
