Saint Simeon Stylites or Symeon the Stylite (c. 388 – 2 September 459) is a Christian ascetic saint who achieves fame for living 37 years on a small platform on top of a pillar near Aleppo in Syria.

Several other stylites later follow his model (the Greek word style means pillar).

He is known formally as Saint Simeon Stylites the Elder to distinguish him from Simeon Stylites the Younger and Simeon Stylites III.
