Afrikaans: Simonstad (Engels: Simon's Town) is 'n dorp aan die oostekant van die Kaapse Skiereiland naby Kaapstad (provinsie Wes-Kaap, Suid-Afrika). Dit is vernoem na die eertydse Nederlandse goewerneur van die Kaap, Simon van der Stel. Simonstad, wat aan Valsbaai geleë is, is die hoofkwartier en opleidingsentrum van die Suid-Afrikaanse Vloot. Die dorp speel al tweehonderd jaar 'n belangrike rol as militêre hawe en is oorspronklik deur die Koninklike Britse Vloot (Royal Navy) gebruik.

English: Simon's Town (also widely but incorrectly referred to as Simonstown) is a village and a naval base in South Africa, near Cape Town. It is located on the shores of False Bay, on the eastern side of the Cape Peninsula. For more than two centuries it has been an important naval base and harbour (first for the Royal Navy and now the South African Navy). The town is named after Simon van der Stel, an early governor of the Cape Colony. The land rises steeply from near the water's edge and the picturesque village is boxed in along the shoreline by the heights above. The small harbour itself is not a particularly good natural harbour and is protected from swells by a breakwater that was built with thousands of huge blocks of sandstone quarried out of the face of the mountain above. Simon's Town is now in effect a suburb of greater Cape Town. The Simon's Town railway station is the terminus of the Southern Line, a railway line that runs south from the central business district of Cape Town. In places the railway line hugs the steep eastern shore of False Bay quite spectacularly and in bad weather foam from some heavy swells will fly up and wet the trains.
