Tian Pengfei (Chinese: 田鵬飛 (born 16 August 1987) is a professional snooker player from the People's Republic of China. He began his professional career by playing Challenge Tour in 2004, at the time the second-level professional tour. Tian played on Main Tour in 2006 and competed on the World Snooker Tour for two seasons until he dropped off in 2008. During this period he also served a one-year ban for sexual harassment. In 2010, he won his first professional title, the Beijing International Challenge, and returned to Main Tour the following year.
Tian first competed on the Main Tour in the 2006/2007 season, dropping off the tour in the following season. During the season, Tian also received a one-year ban from China's cue sports administration, following an investigation into allegations that he had sexually abused and beaten his fellow team-mate, Zhou Mengmeng, at the Doha Asian Games in 2006.
As a wild card, Tian defeated Ronnie O'Sullivan 5–3 in the last 32 of the 2010 China Open at the Students University Stadium in Beijing. In an astonishing finish to the match, O'Sullivan missed a simple final black off its spot which would have levelled the score at 4–4. He also recorded some impressive victories in the Wuxi Classic, by beating Mark Selby 5–3 and Joe Perry 5–1, before being whitewashed 6–0 by Ding Junhui. Despite these results, he was not awarded a wild card by World Snooker to compete on the main tour.
The next professional tournament he competed in was the Beijing International Challenge. In the group stages he recorded wins over Stephen Hendry and Stephen Maguire, before beating Liang Wenbo 6–4 and Ryan Day 9–3 to win the title.
