Born 1953. Simon Marcil is a Canadian politician, trade unionist and union representative.
Simon Marcil is a former Canadian politician who served as the Member of Parliament (MP) for the riding of Mirabel from 2015 to 2021. Marcil was first elected to the House of Commons of Canada in the 2015 election as a member of the Bloc Québécois. On February 28, 2018, however, Marcil, along with six other Bloc MPs, resigned from the Bloc's caucus to sit as an independent MP citing conflicts with the leadership style of Martine Ouellet.

On December 22, 2020, the National Post reported that Marcil had been on prolonged medical leave since January 31, 2020, all without informing his constituents. In January 2021, he announced he would not run again in the 2021 federal election. He was elected to Saint-Jérôme City Council in 2025.
Prior to his election, Marcil worked for Hydro-Québec.
