Simon Lynch (born 19 May 1982 in Montreal, Quebec) is a Canadian professional footballer currently playing for Australian club Queensland Roar.
Lynch, who was born in Canada but moved to Scotland as a child, started his career at Celtic and managed three goals in seven appearances (his father, Andy Lynch, captained Celtic in the 1970s). He turned down an improved contract offer from Celtic to join Preston North End in 2003 for £130,000. With just two goals in thirty-six appearances, Lynch had loan spells with Stockport County and Blackpool before returning to Scotland with Dundee in 2005. He managed 13 goals in 31 league appearances for the Dark Blues, but Dundee's financial problems meant he was unlikely to remain.
On 3 July 2006, it was revealed that Lynch had signed a two-year contract with Queensland Roar. Lynch scored on his Roar debut, netting the first goal in the 3-0 win over Perth Glory on the opening day of the A-League season.
Lynch played 10 times for Scotland under-21s, scoring 6 goals.
