Simon Geschke (born 13 March 1986) is a German professional road cyclist, who rides for UCI WorldTeam Cofidis.
In the 2015 Tour de France, Geschke won a mountain stage as he was part of the breakaway and soloed across the line in Pra-Loup.
In October 2020, Geschke signed with the Cofidis team as a mountain helper for team leader Guillaume Martin.
At the 2022 Tour de Romandie, Geschke initially rode in support of Ion Izagirre, but moved into overall contention, finishing as part of the lead group on the penultimate stage of the race in Zinal. He then finished second to Aleksandr Vlasov on the final stage, a 15.84-kilometre (9.84-mile) individual time trial from Aigle to Villars-sur-Ollon, moving up to third overall behind Vlasov and Gino Mäder. Prior to the Tour de France, Geschke finished third in the German National Road Race Championships. At his tenth Tour de France, Geschke wore a classification jersey at the race for the first time; after getting into the breakaway on stage 9, Geschke earned enough points to take the lead in the mountains classification, which was his goal for the stage. He also featured in the breakaways on stages 11, 14, and 16, before losing the jersey to Jonas Vingegaard after stage 17, after 9 days as mountains classification leader – a record for a German rider.
The son of former track cyclist Jürgen Geschke, Simon Geschke has been a vegan since 2016.
