Shimon Gershon (Hebrew: שמעון גרשון; born October 6, 1977) is a retired Israeli national footballer and central defender.

In 2006, he moved to capital city club Beitar Jerusalem, newly bought by Russian benefactor Arkady Gaydamak.

This transfer was not well received among Hapoel supporters, and some had resorted to verbal abuse regarding Gershon, accusing him of infidelity towards his boyhood club.

In response, Gershon organized a press conference to address the issue, in which he expressed his love for, and regret at leaving his home club, also adding that it was his right to seek improvement in his salary, and take care of his proper interests.

Towards the end of his sport career, Shimon wrote adventures books that immediately became bestsellers for kids all over Israel and he received awards for gold sales.
