Simon Ignatius Pimenta (1 March 1920 – 19 July 2013) was a Roman Catholic Cardinal and Archbishop Emeritus of Bombay (now Mumbai).

He did his studies in philosophy and theology at the seminary of Bombay, St. Pius College and obtained a baccalaureate in pedagogy and mathematics from the State University.

He was known for trying to keep his sprawling and diverse archdiocese united and active, establishing parishes in the city's slums and trying to counter widespread contraception campaigns by promoting natural family planning.

[7] Cardinal Simon Ignatius Pimenta died on 19 July 2013,[8] while he was resting at the Clergy Home in Bandstand, Bandra, having moved here as his apartment at the Archbishop's House was undergoing repair.

The last rites of archbishop emeritus of Bombay, Cardinal Simon Pimenta, were performed on 23 July 2013, evening in his native parish of St John the Evangelist in Marol.

[9] Despite the rain, nearly 5,000 mourners, led by Archbishop Oswald Cardinal Gracias, paid respects to the priest who "lived his life" in the service of the faith.
