Jeffrey (Jeff) "Iceman" Lisandro (born in Perth) is an Australian professional poker player, now residing in Salerno, Italy.

Lisandro is known by many to be a cash-game specialist, but is a well-known face on the poker tournament circuit.

He learnt to play at the age of 5 from his mother

Lisandro made his first final table appearance in a World Series of Poker (WSOP) event in 1997, in the $3,000 pot limit hold'em event won by Phil Hellmuth Jr. He has made four WSOP final tables since then, in Omaha, seven card stud and 2 to 7 lowball events.

Lisandro has not yet made a final table on the World Poker Tour (WPT), but has finished in the money in one event.

In December 2004, Lisandro won the $25,000 limit hold'em heads-up tournament, defeating Howard "The Professor" Lederer in the final to take home the $194,000 grand prize.

In May 2005, he won the $10,000 no limit hold'em World Series of Poker circuit event at Lake Tahoe, defeating Phil Ivey in the final heads-up confrontation to win the $542,360 prize. Lisandro has said that he considers this to be one of his greatest achievements, as he rates Ivey to be the best player in the world.

Lisandro plays online at PokerStars and is a good friend of Jean-Robert Bellande. He is known for chewing gum at the poker table to reduce tells.

As of 2005, his total live tournament winnings exceed $1,200,000.
