In poker, one-eyed royals are a term used to describe the Jack of spades, the Jack of hearts and the King of diamonds. The term was coined due to the depiction of these royals on their cards where they have been displayed in profile. As a result, the cards only display one eye of these royals as compared to the other royals who are depicted more front-on.

In many home games, especially in draw poker, one-eyed royals are used as wild cards as these are the only three cards in the entire deck that are of differing rank and suits, and yet share a common trait.
