Simon Christopher Bryant (born 22 November 1982) is a former professional association footballer, who spent five years (1999–2004) in The Football League with Bristol Rovers.

Bryant began his career as a trainee with Bristol Rovers and after being promoted to the professional ranks at the club in 1999, he remained at the club as a player until 2004. During this spell he went on loan to Tiverton Town during the Christmas and new year period in 2003/2004.

He signed for Mangotsfield United in the summer of 2008, but left the club after less than a month, citing work commitments, without having played a single competitive match. He joined Cadbury Heath in August that year. He moved to Oldland Abbotonians a year later, where he made 12 league appearances, scoring once, during the 2009–10 season.

In October 2011 he was appointed as assistant coach to Martyn Grimshaw at Longwell Green Sports F.C.

In December 2021 Simon played in his first game in 10 years for Seymour United, realising his dream playing alongside his life-long friend David Plummer.
