Simon Adingra (born 1 January 2002) is an Ivorian professional footballer who plays as a winger for Ligue 1 club Monaco, on loan from Premier League club Sunderland, and the Ivory Coast national team.
Adingra was born in Abobo, a suburb of Abidjan. A former player of the Right to Dream Academy, Adingra joined Danish club Nordsjælland in January 2020. He made his professional debut on 18 April 2021 in a 2–2 league draw against Copenhagen. He replaced Ivan Mesík at the 68th minute of the game and went on to score his team's second goal.
On 24 June 2022, Adingra transferred to Premier League club Brighton & Hove Albion, signing a four-year contract. Ten days later, Adingra joined Brighton's Belgian sister club Union SG on loan for the 2022–23 season.
Adingra made his Brighton debut as a substitute in the opening game of the 2023–24 season on 12 August. He scored the Seagulls' third goal in an eventual 4–1 home win over newly promoted Luton Town. During that same season, Adingra made his first Premier League start on 16 September in a 3–1 victory over Manchester United in which he recorded an assist.
Upon returning to Brighton after winning the 2023 AFCON title, Adingra would score a brace in a 5–0 win against Sheffield United on 18 February 2024.
On 10 July 2025, Adingra joined fellow Premier League club Sunderland, signing a five-year contract. On 28 December 2025, he scored his first goal for the club in a 1–1 draw at home against Leeds United.
On 2 February 2026, Sunderland announced that Adingra had been loaned to AS Monaco for the rest of the season.
In March 2023, Adingra received his first call-up to the Ivory Coast senior national team for two Africa Cup of Nations qualification matches against Comoros.
On 3 February 2024, Adingra scored a 90th minute equaliser in an eventual extra-time 2–1 win against Mali in the quarter-finals of 2023 Africa Cup of Nations. On 11 February, he provided two assists and was named as man of the match in the tournament's final against Nigeria, which ended in a 2–1 victory for Ivory Coast.
