Simon Suoranta (born 21 May 1992) is a Finnish professional ice hockey player currently signed to French Ligue Magnus side Dragons de Rouen.[1] He last played for the Nottingham Panthers of the UK's Elite Ice Hockey League (EIHL).[2]

Suoranta made his SM-Liiga debut playing with Oulun Kärpät during the 2011–12 SM-liiga season.[3]

He played 22 games for Ässät before suffering an injury that kept him out for the rest of the 2017–18 season. In May 2018, Suoranta joined HC TPS,[4] making his season debut on 14 November against Vaasan Sport.[5]

After an 18-month spell with Vaasan Sport, Suoranta agreed to his first contract outside Finland and signed with English side Nottingham Panthers in July 2021.[6] He departed Nottingham in December 2021, along with compatriot Tommi Jokinen.[7]

In January 2022, Suoranta moved to France to sign for top-flight side Dragons de Rouen.
