Simon Boerum (February 29, 1724 – July 11, 1775) was a farmer, miller, and political leader from Brooklyn, New York.
Boerum's family settled on Long Island when it was a part of the Dutch colony of New Netherland.
In 1748, he bought a home and garden at what is today the southwest corner of Fulton and Hoyt streets in downtown Brooklyn.
Kings County selected him to represent them, and on October 1, 1774, the Congress added him to the New York delegation.
Early in 1775, the Colony's Assembly rejected the work of the first Congress and was hurriedly adjourned to prevent further measures from consideration.
