Simon Osborn (born 19 January 1972 in Croydon, England) is a professional footballer with Bromley.

A central midfielder, he started his career as a trainee at Crystal Palace before playing for Reading, where he formed a vital part of the team that finished second in the Football League First Division in the 1994-95 season, losing 4-3 to Bolton Wanderers in the Playoff Final that was necessary due to the Premier League reducing in size and allowing only one automatic promotion place.

As a result of Reading's failure to secure promotion, Osborn was sold to Queens Park Rangers, after which he moved to Wolverhampton Wanderers (from whom he was loaned to Tranmere Rovers for three months during 2001), Port Vale and Gillingham.

After Gillingham, Osborn signed for Walsall, where he was assistant to manager Paul Merson for a period of time. Osborn started the 2006-07 with Hereford United before moving to Bromley in September 2006.
