Simon from the kindred Kacsics (Hungarian: Kacsics nembeli Simon, Croatian: Šimun Kačić; died after 1228) was a Hungarian distinguished nobleman from the gens Kacsics (Kačić). His only brother was Michael Kacsics, voivode of Transylvania (1209–1212) and ban of Slavonia in 1212. His father-in-law was Bánk Bár-Kalán.
He was appointed ban of Slavonia in 1212, alongside his brother. Simon, along with Peter, son of Töre, played a decisive role in the murder of Queen Gertrude of Merania in 1213. His brother, Michael probably also took part in the preparation of the assassination. After the return of Andrew II of Hungary from Halychina, only Peter was executed by impalement, the Kacsics clan could retain their estates yet. The land confiscation in 1228 might be a sign of the subsequent retaliation.
