Simon Philip Raymonde (born Simon Philip Pomerance, 3 April 1962, London) is an English musician and record producer. He is the son of the late arranger and composer Ivor Raymonde. He is best known as the bass guitarist and keyboard player with the Scottish band Cocteau Twins from 1983 to 1997.
Raymonde began his career as bassist for London-based post-punk band Drowning Craze, who released three singles on Situation 2: “Storage Case” (1981), “Trance” (1981) and “Heat” (1982).
In 1984, Raymonde joined Cocteau Twins, filling the void left by the departed bassist Will Heggie. He remained as a core writer in the band until its dissolution in 1997. As well as his work with Cocteau Twins, he also contributed to the first two albums by This Mortal Coil, another 4AD project.

In 2007, he made an appearance in the documentary film Scott Walker: 30 Century Man.
Raymonde has acted as producer and mixer on many records, including Clearlake’s Cedars, James Yorkston’s Moving Up Country, the first two albums by John Grant’s first band the Czars, three albums by the Duke Spirit including the hit album Cuts Across the Land, Archie Bronson Outfit’s “Kangaroo Heart”, Anthony Reynolds’ “Just So You Know” and the Open’s Silent Hours. He co-produced the posthumous album from Billy Mackenzie.

He was vice-chairman of the board at the Association of Independent Music in 2013, and has spoken regularly around the world about his experiences in the industry. He presented a weekend workshop with music students at QUT in Brisbane, and has also done master classes at Middlesex University, BIMM and the Academy of Contemporary Music at UCO in Oklahoma City. He served as the keynote speaker at Big Sound in Australia, Going Global in New Zealand and Norwich’s Sound & Vision (where he was interviewed by John Robb).
On 27 January 2014, he released his first music in 17 years, with the band Snowbird. Their album Moon was issued as a vinyl package with one black vinyl and one white vinyl, with artwork designed by Vaughan Oliver and a bonus electronic dub remix album by RxGibbs called Luna.
In summer 2015, he started a new musical project with musician Richard Thomas (formerly of Dif Juz and the Jesus and Mary Chain), called Lost Horizons.
