Pascal Simon (Mesnil St. Loup, September 27, 1956) is a retired French road racing cyclist. He was a professional cyclist from 1979 to 1991. Pascal was the oldest of four brothers that all became professional cyclists: Régis, Jerôme and François.
In 1983, Simon (then unknown) got the yellow jersey after the tenth stage. One day later, Simon fell down and broke his shoulder. Simon continued to ride in the yellow jersey for six more days, then he stopped and let Laurent Fignon win the Tour.
