Simone Tiribocchi (born 31 January 1978) is a former Italian footballer who played as a forward. He is currently coaching Vicenza's under-13 team in 2014–15 season.

A Lazio youth product, he made his debut playing for Pistoiese in 1995. He moved to Empoli in 1996, but failed to make an appearance, and was signed by Torino Calcio later that year. He played for the Turin club for 8 seasons, although he spent half of them loaned to Serie B and Serie C1 clubs Savoia, Benevento, and Siena, where he won the Serie B title and Serie A promotion in 2003. He was signed by Serie A side A.C. Chievo Verona in July 2004. He scored 12 goals in 43 matches during his first two seasons with Chievo, and 3 more in 16 appearances during the first half of the 2006–07 Serie A season.

He moved to U.S. Lecce in January 2007, ending the season with 11 goals. Together with Lecce team-mate Elvis Abbruscato, in 2007–2008 he formed one of the best duos of strikers in the Serie B tournament and managed to end the regular season with 16 goals. Tiribocchi played all four play-offs matches and scored 2 goals as Lecce regained a spot in the Serie A. Here he was one of the key-players for the salentini with another 11 goals, but his team was eventually relegated.

On 5 June 2009 Atalanta B.C. have signed the striker from U.S. Lecce until June 30, 2012.
