Simonstown (Afrikaans: Simonstad) was a constituency in the Cape Province of South Africa, which existed from 1958 to 1994. Named for the naval port of Simon’s Town (the one-word and two-word spellings of the town’s name are both accepted, but the constituency name was generally spelled as one word), it covered roughly the southern half of the Cape Peninsula. Throughout its existence it elected one member to the House of Assembly and one to the Cape Provincial Council.
