Simon Wiggins (born September 11, 1982) is an Australian rules footballer in the Australian Football League.
He was recruited as the number 15 draft pick in the 2000 AFL Draft from Glenorchy. He made his debut for the Carlton Football Club in Round 5, 2001 against St. Kilda.
Simon has been an inconsistent player for Carlton. He only played 6 games in his debut season, and has never managed to play a full season since. He broke into the Blues' lineup for the last month of the 2005 season.
Despite his inconstinency, he has been retained on the list for several seasons. The faith shown in him has been repaid, with solid form shown midway through the 2006 season, in a role as a tall marking forward (similar to Aaron Hamill). He played fourteen games in 2006, with three triple-doubles amongst some forgettable outings.
He is the brother of former AFL player Patrick Wiggins and is currently married to Australian diver, Loudy Tourky.
