Sydney Simmons (10 September 1840 – 29 April 1924) was an English entrepreneur and philanthropist in Okehampton, Devon, and Friern Barnet, Middlesex (now London). Born in Devon, he was first apprenticed to a drapery company before travelling to London in 1862 where he became the North American representative of a carpet company. He acquired the rights to a new carpet cleaning process, the exploitation of which in Britain made him wealthy. He lived in Friern Barnet and funded a number of philanthropic projects there and in his native Okehampton where he was buried.
