Simon Wilde (born 1960) is an English cricket journalist and author. He has written for The Times and The Sunday Times since 1998, and is currently the latter's cricket correspondent.^[1]^[2] Three of his books have been short-listed for the William Hill Sports Book of the Year award: Ranji: A Genius Rich and Strange (1990), Letting Rip: The Fast Bowling Threat from Lillee to Waqar (1994) and Shane Warne: Portrait of a Flawed Genius (2007).

When his book on Ranji was reissued in 2005, a reviewer in The Independent wrote that it was "superbly researched and as well written".^[3] In reviewing Wilde's book on Warne, Andrew Baker, writing in the Daily Telegraph, said that "Wilde has some pedigree in the quality cricket book market", and that the book "is a bit more than sensible and objective. It is entertaining, too..."^[4]

In recent years, he has written the annual review of events in world cricket in the previous year for Wisden Cricketers' Almanack.^[5]

He has three children and lives in Hampshire.
