Ashleigh Ann Simon (born 11 May 1989) is a South African professional golfer.
Simon had a successful amateur career. She was the youngest player to win the ladies’ South African Amateur Stroke Play and Match Play double and the first player in 101 years to win the Ladies South African Open title three times. She represented her country in the mainly professional Women's World Cup of Golf three times while still an amateur.
Simon turned professional the day after her 18th birthday. She won the 2007 Catalonia Ladies Masters, which was her third event as a professional. She became the youngest ever professional winner on the Ladies European Tour (South Korea's Amy Yang won the 2006 ANZ Ladies Masters at a younger age as an amateur).
Simon earned her LPGA Tour for 2014 at qualifying school.
