Simon Kane (born 9 October 1967 in Sydney, New South Wales) is an Australian former race car driver, but now works as a sound technician in television.
Kane started in Formula Fords in the late 1980s and proceeded to the new Formula Holden series in 1989. In 1990 he won the Australian Drivers' Championship and consequently CAMS Gold Star. From there he had a disappointing International Formula 3000 season in 1991 for Italian team Motor Racing Di-Wheels, failing to qualify for the two events he entered at Hockenheim in Germany and Brands Hatch in England (rounds 6 & 7).
He then returned to Australia and spasmodically entered Australian Drivers' Championship rounds in coming years, including a top five result at the one-off 1993 Indonesian Grand Prix. He now races some club events in a Porsche 911.
