Simon Jonathan Miotto (born September 5 1969 in Tasmania) is an Australian professional football goalkeeper. He plays for Danish club Akademisk Boldklub.

Miotto began his career in 1993 with Riverside Olympic in Tasmania's Northern Premier League. In 1994 he was signed by then-Blackpool manager Sam Allardyce. He spent only one season at Bloomfield Road before being released without making a first-team appearance for the Seasiders.

In 1998 he moved to Hartlepool United, for whom he made five appearances in two years.

He joined Scunthorpe United briefly in 2000, and then tried his hand north of the border with Raith Rovers and St. Johnstone, without much success.

In July 2004, then-West Brom manager Gary Megson gave him a one-year contract at The Hawthorns.

He trained with Danish Superliga club Viborg FF in January 2006, before moving on to Danish lower-league clubs Ølstykke FC and Akademisk Boldklub.
