Jeffrey de Luna (born February 14, 1984) is a Filipino professional pool player[2] from Manila. De Luna reached the semifinals of the 2019 U.S. Open Pool Championship, but would lose to eventual champion Joshua Filler of Germany.

De Luna is well known for his cue power and having one of the most powerful breaks of any player; hence, he was nicknamed "the Bull".[3] He breaks the ball with tremendous power while jumping straight up into the air. In one match against Ruslan Chinaknov, de Luna made an incredible six balls in a break, playing nine balls.[4]
