Simon Bondi (Yiddish: שמעון באנדי, romanized: Shimʻon Bondi; 1774 – 20 December 1816) was a German maskil and lexicographer of the Talmud.

He wrote, together with his brother Mordecai (Marcus) [Wikidata], the Or Ester ('Light of Esther'), a Hebrew dictionary of the Latin words occurring in the Talmud, targumim and midrashim (Dessau, 1812). They also wrote a similar work on the Greek words, which was never printed. The periodical Jedidja (i. 117–125) contains a biographical obituary of Simon by his brother Mordecai.

Bondi was related to the author Bernhard Beer [de] and the court factor and banker Simon Isaac Bondi. His sister Sophie married into the Warburg family of Hamburg.
