Simon Fraser (1729 – 7 October 1777) was a British general during the American War of Independence.
He was killed in the Battle of Bemis Heights during the Saratoga Campaign.
The shot that killed Fraser is often attributed to Timothy Murphy, of Daniel Morgan's Rifle Corps, which was assigned to the Left and under the command of Benedict Arnold, who was leading Morgan's men as well as Dearborn, Cilley, Poor, and the rest of the American left wing, which was attempting to push back the reconnaissance in force led by Simon Fraser on the Barber Wheatfield.
