Simon Downer (born 19 October 1981 in Romford, England) is an English footballer, currently playing for Grays Athletic. His previous clubs include Leyton Orient, Aldershot (loan), and Weymouth.

With a good reputation in his younger days, Downer was once on trial with Newcastle United. However Sir Bobby Robson decided against signing the then 19-year-old Downer from Orient. Downer has had many problems with both knees. This has hampered his career and he has twice retired from football. In between his 'retirements', Downer worked as a brick layer.

He plays in the centre-back or right-back position.
