Matilda Simon, 3rd Baroness Simon of Wythenshawe CEng MIMechE (born 1955) is a British peeress, retired academic, woodworker, and Green Party member. In 2002 she succeeded her father as the Baron Simon of Wythenshawe. In 2015 she came out as a transgender woman. Her claim to the barony, following her gender transition, was accepted by the Lord Chancellor in 2022, so she became the first transgender peer of the realm.
