Shailesh Jogia, known as "Joe" (born 13 November 1975) is an English former professional snooker player of Indian descent.
Born in Leicester, England in 1975, Jogia lived for a time in the Hertfordshire town of Letchworth, before returning to live in Leicester. In July 2012, Jogia was banned from snooker for two years due to suspicious betting patterns in the lead up to one of his matches.
He has reached the last 32 of four ranking events, the first two being the 2004 Grand Prix and British Open, within a few weeks of each other. He won the English Open title in 1998, and has defeated players such as Joe Swail, Mark King and Stuart Bingham in his career. His highest break in a ranking event is 137, in qualifying rounds of the 2009 Grand Prix, although he has also made a 147 maximum in pro-am play.
He dropped off the pro Main Tour after the 2006/2007 season. In 2008/2009 he topped the pro-am International Open Series to regain a place on the Main Tour, although this was a wildcard place as he was not a member of his national governing body at that time.
He qualified for the last 32 of a ranking event for the first time in 6 years at the 2010 World Open, where he played Liu Song and lost 3–1.
