Simon the Shoemaker (Greek: Σίμων Ἀθηναῖος, σκυτοτόμος; c. late 5th century BCE) was an associate of Socrates in Athens, and a 'working-philosopher'. He is known mostly from the account given in Diogenes Laërtius' Lives and Opinions of Eminent Philosophers. He is also mentioned in passing by Plutarch and Synesius; a pupil of Socrates, Phaedo of Elis, is known to have written a dialogue called Simon. Given his relatively minor role in those writings, and his absence in the works of Plato, Xenophon, and Aristophanes, the primary sources on the life of Socrates, Simon's historicity has been called into question.
