Simon Martirosyan (Armenian: Սիմոն Մարտիրոսյան; born 17 February 1997) is an Armenian weightlifter, Olympian, World Champion, and two time European Champion competing in the 105 kg category until 2018 and 109 kg starting in 2018 after the International Weightlifting Federation reorganized the categories.

He held the youth world record for the snatch, the clean and jerk and total in the +94 kg division before weight classes were changed in 2018 nullifying earlier records. He is currently the world record holder in the Clean and Jerk and Total for the −109 kg division.

In 2014 Martirosyan competed at the 2014 Summer Youth Olympics winning a gold medal in the +85 kg category.

He competed for Armenia in the 2016 Summer Olympics, where he won the silver medal in the men's 105 kg competition.

In 2018 the International Weightlifting Federation reorganized the categories nullifying earlier records, and coming into the competition it was suspected to be a close race between Ruslan Nurudinov (gold medalist at the 2016 Summer Olympics), and Yang Zhe (4th place at the 2016 Summer Olympics). After the snatch portion of the competition, Ruslan Nurudinov was out of the running for a total (as he did not complete a lift), and Yang Zhe was leading Martirosyan by 1 kg. In the clean & jerk portion of the competition, Martirosyan was the last lifter to begin lifting, and with his first lift of 230 kg he was in first place. After Nurudinov was unable to complete his next lift of 238 kg, Martirosyan attempted and made a 240 kg clean & jerk, setting new world records in the clean & jerk and total, and winning the gold medal.
