Seppo Antero Simola (July 27, 1936 in Somero - March 9, 2003) was a Finnish shot putter, who represented Turun Riento, weighing in at 128 kg and standing 191 cm tall. He was the first Finn to put the shot more than 20 m in an official competition when he put it 20.15 metres in Turku, Finland on July 19, 1972; this was of course his personal best and a national record. Even though Simola was a five-time Finnish champion outdoors and three-time champion indoors, he never placed higher than 16th in the Olympics and 11th in the European Championships.
