Simon de Wedale O. S. A. was a 14th-century Augustinian canon who rose to become Abbot of Holyrood and then Bishop of Galloway. Little is known of Simon until he appears on 27 February 1321 as Abbot of Holyrood Abbey near Edinburgh. His accession to this abbacy had only been recent since either in January of this year or in January 1320 his predecessor Elias ruling the abbey since at least 1309 and probably earlier was still abbot.
