The 1952 World Professional Match-play Championship was a snooker tournament held at the Tower Circus in Blackpool, England.
The event was created following a dispute between the Professional Billiards Players' Association (PBPA) and the Billiards Association and Control Council (BACC). The BACC thought the championship is primarily about honour, and financial consideration should come at second place. 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. Davis also compiled the highest break of tournament with 140.
