Zhang Jiankang (Chinese: 张健康; born 25 August 1998)[1] is a Chinese former professional snooker player. He was suspended from the professional tour in January 2023 as part of a match-fixing investigation involving ten Chinese players.[2] He was subsequently charged with fixing a match, failing to report approaches for him to fix matches, and betting on snooker.[3] In June 2023 he was given a four year and five months suspension, which following early admissions and a guilty plea, was reduced to 2 years and 11 months until 1 December 2025.[4]
