The 1952 World Professional Match-play Championship was a snooker tournament held at the Tower Circus in Blackpool, England.[1]

The event was created following a dispute between the Professional Billiards Players' Association (PBPA) and the Billiards Association and Control Council (BACC).[2] The BACC thought the championship is primarily about honour, and financial consideration should come at second place.[3] The PBPA established an alternative 'world championship' called the PBPA Snooker Championship.

Fred Davis won his fourth World title by defeating Walter Donaldson 38–35 in the final.[1] Davis also compiled the highest break of tournament with 140.[4]
