Simon Behan (1941 to 26 January 2009) was an Irish Gaelic footballer from Marino in Dublin who played club football with St. Vincent's and inter-county football with the Dublin senior team. He first came to notice with St. Joseph's CBS, the first school side to win the Hogan Cup, and he won All-Ireland minor titles with Dublin in 1958 and 1959 before lining out with the county junior team in 1960. He won three Dublin county championships with St. Vincent's and was part of the Dublin senior team that won the Leinster title in 1963 and then beat Galway in that year's All-Ireland final. Away from football he spent almost forty years working in advertising and public relations for Texaco, and he died at his home in Baldoyle in 2009.
