Krisztián Simon (born 10 June 1991) is a Hungarian footballer who plays for 2. Bundesliga-side 1860 Munich, as a winger.
Simon played his first match in the Hungarian National Championship I in 2009 against Zalaegerszegi TE. He played 1129 minutes and scored two goals in the 2010–11 season.
On 3 July 2012, Simon broke his sole during a training session with Újpest.
On 10 January 2015, Simon refused the offer by Charlton Athletic F.C.. In an interview with Nemzeti Sport, Simon said that the style of Football League Championship does not suit him.
Simon joined on 21 January 2009 from Újpest FC to Wolverhampton Wanderers on loan until May. In 2010, he was named best Hungarian under 19 football player of the year by Hungarian Football Association.
During his first trial game in Feyenoord, Simon significantly contributed to the victory of his team against Sparta Rotterdam in the second half by two assists and a goal. Simon debuted in the Amsterdam Arena against Ajax Amsterdam in the Eredivisie.
On 2 February 2015 Simon signed a contract with German 2. Bundesliga club 1860 Munich until 2018. Before 1860 Munich signed Simon, Markus von Ahlen asked former 1860 Munich goalkeeper Gábor Király and former Hertha BSC midfielder and Hungary national football team coach Pál Dárdai's opinion.
