Simeon bar Ezron or Simon bar Ezron (Aram. Shimon bar Ezron; Heb. Shimon ben Ezron) was a leader in the Great Jewish Revolt against the Roman Empire in the year 66 CE. He was a follower of the Sicarii leader Eleazar ben Simon. He was of noble descent, and may be identical with Simeon ben Arinos, who also is mentioned in connection with Eleazar, and thus with Simeon ben Ari, to whose bravery Josephus alludes.
