Corey Deuel (born November 20, 1977, in Santa Barbara, California) is an American professional pool player from West Jefferson, Ohio.

[3] "Soft breaking" and "pattern racking" are techniques that have been used by Deuel and others as a strategy to gain an advantage in tournament competitions.

[5][6] At the age of 14, Deuel began playing pool at Drexeline Billiards in Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania,[7] before taking to the road in his teen years.

[5] His victory meant he automatically qualified as the United States entrant for the 2013 IBSF World Snooker Championship where he was eliminated in the round-robin stage after finishing 5th in his group.

Deuel later competed in the 2015 Xuzhou Open in China, but was eliminated in the first round after losing 2–4 to the world number 81 Zhou Yuelong.

Despite at one stage leading 3–1 and only needed one more frame to advance Deuel, lost 3–4 to Jamie Barrett in the second round of the first event.
