Simon du Fleuve is a post-apocalyptic French graphic novel series written by Claude Auclair, with five volumes published between 1976–1978, and a second cycle of four albums from 1988-1989. Simon du Fleuve started in the pages of Tintin magazine.

At least three albums have been published in English so far:

  • Simon of the River 1 - Clan of Centaurs
