Jeffrey de Zwaan (born 26 March 1996) is a Dutch darts player who plays in the Professional Darts Corporation.
De Zwaan progressed through to the last 16 of the 2014 World Masters, where he lost 3–0 to Glen Durrant. He won a two-year PDC Tour Card in 2015 by defeating Prakash Jiwa 5–1 in the final round. He played in the German Darts Championship and saw off Devon Petersen 6–2, before being whitewashed 6–0 by Adrian Lewis in round two. A last 16 showing in the final qualifier saw De Zwaan make his debut at the UK Open and he lost 5–2 to Benito van de Pas in the second round. He eliminated Steve Brown, Michael Smith, Ken MacNeil and Jelle Klaasen to reach his first PDC quarter-final at the fourth Players Championship event and lost 6–3 to Lewis. De Zwaan got the final European spot for the European Championship and lost 6–3 to world number one Michael van Gerwen in the opening round.
De Zwaan reached the fourth round of the 2020 World Championship, where he played Peter Wright. Wright led 3-0 in sets and 2-0 in legs before De Zwaan mounted a comeback to level at 3-3 and lead by a break of throw in the deciding set, but Wright eventually won and went on to win the tournament. This was followed by another selection for one of the Premier League nights in Rotterdam, this time under the tag of 'challenger'.
