Alfredo de Oro (1862–1948; sometimes recorded as Alfredo DeOro) was a Spanish professional carom billiards and pool player who several times held the world title in both three-cushion billiards and straight pool simultaneously. He was posthumously inducted into the Billiard Congress of America's Hall of Fame in 1967, one of the very few non-Americans to receive the honor.[1]
