Justin Bonomo (born September 30, 1985) (known online as ZeeJustin) is an American high-stakes professional poker player, and a former Magic the Gathering competitor. He became the youngest player to be featured at a televised final table on February 19, 2005, when he placed fourth during the inaugural year of the EPT at the French Open in Deauville, France. He was 19 at the time.

As of 2024, Bonomo has live tournament earnings of over $63,000,000; this total makes him one of the highest-earning live tournament players of all time.

At the World Series of Poker, Bonomo has 55 cashes, made 19 final tables, and has won three bracelets and one circuit ring for $14,292,554 in winnings.
