Simon Mark Harrison (born 6 September 1969 in Northampton) is a British racing driver.

He won two National Saloon Car Championships in 1994 and 1999, as well as the Production Class of the British Touring Car Championship in 2001.

Harrison's 23 year racing career spanned 23 started with winning his local karting championship on his first attempt.

Harrison is best known for his time as a Peugeot factory driver in the 1995 British Touring Car Championship driving a 405 Mi16.

This was after first season in saloon cars, winning the National Saloon Car Championship as part of the Team Castrol Honda scholarship squad.

Prior to this, Harrison successfully raced in single seaters and was nominated for the McLaren Autosport Young Driver of the Year Award.

Unable to secure financial backing to move into Formula 3 racing, Harrison instead tried out for the Team Castol Honda scholarship, a manufacturer-backed program to recruit racing talent.

Harrison secured a place in the three-car team, won the first round of the championship and subsequently led the championship from start to finish.
