Simon Beaumont (born December 13, 1975) is a former Australian rules footballer who played for Carlton and Hawthorn in the AFL.
Carlton secured the services of Beaumont with the 18th pick in the 1993 AFL Draft. A left footer, Beaumont was used mainly as a half back flanker and later key defender but could also play forward which was demonstrated in a game for Carlton against Collingwood at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Round 17, 1999 when he kicked eight goals, all of them in the first half. He is also a member of an exclusive group of players who kicked a goal with their first kick in the AFL, which he managed against Hawthorn in 1995.
Beaumont was traded to Hawthorn for the 2003 season and spent two years with the Hawks before retiring.
