Simon Townsend (born 1945?) is an Australian journalist who became a popular television presenter during the 1980s. He is currently a tutor in journalism.

He gained national prominence in the mid-1960s when he was jailed as a conscientious objector against the Vietnam War, but he is best remembered in Australia as the host and producer of the popular children's show, Simon Townsend's Wonder World.

In recent years Townsend has suffered three strokes. In August 2005, he told ABC TV he feared the next stroke might kill him.
