Geoffrey Leslie Simons (23 November 1939 – 31 August 2011) was a British freelance writer.

A prolific author of non-fiction, he wrote books about sex, computers and politics, particularly the history of the Middle East.

Geoff Simons was born in Stockport, and lived in or around Greater Manchester throughout his life.

[2] Simons was a critic of US foreign policy, regarding sanctions against Iraq in the 1990s as genocide,[3] and the United States as "a plutocracy that shapes foreign policy in the cynical calculation of elitist commercial advantage".

In his book Is God a Programmer?, he defended atheism and criticized the argument from design.
