The 1970 World Snooker Championship (also known as the Player's No.6 World Snooker Championship for sponsorship reasons) was a snooker tournament that took place in 1970. Like the previous year the final was held at the Victoria Hall in London, from 6 to 11 April 1970. For the second and last time the event was sponsored by Player's No.6.
Ray Reardon won in the final 37–33 against John Pulman. This year was the first of Reardon's six world titles; he held the title for only seven months until the next championship in Australia during November 1970. Reardon also made the highest break of the tournament with 118.
