Marcel Simon (10 April 1907, Strasbourg – 26 October 1986) was a French specialist in the history of religions, particularly relations between Christianity and Judaism in antiquity.

His major work, Verus Israel, was published in 1948; it has been described as 'seminal'.[1]

He was closely associated with Henri Marrou, appreciating his layman's approach to Vatican II.
