Simone Loria (born 28 October, 1976 in Turin) is an Italian football (soccer) defender currently playing for Serie A club A.S. Roma.

Simone Loria completed a transfer to Roma from A.C. Siena along with his team mate Artur Moraes on 25 June 2008 in an exchange deal which saw Roma goalkeeper Gianluca Curci move to Siena in a dual ownership deal and Roma midfielder Ahmed Barusso move on loan to the Tuscan based club. Daniele Galloppa, owned by both Roma & Siena, also became a Siena player to all effects as part of the deal.

Simone Loria is best known for having scored a spectacular bicycle kick from the edge of the penalty area against Chievo Verona while playing his trade for Atalanta B.C..
