Marcel Simon (10 April 1907 in Husseren-Wesserling – Strasbourg 26 October 1986) was a French specialist in the history of religions, particularly relations between Christianity and Judaism in antiquity. Simon received an honorary doctorate by the Faculty of Theology at Uppsala University in 1980.[1]

His major work, Verus Israel, was published in 1948; it has been described as 'seminal'.[2]

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