upright|thumb|Lockroy, c. 1840 Joseph-Philippe Simon, called Lockroy (February 17, 1803 – January 19, 1891) was a French actor and playwright.

== Life == Born in Turin as the son of Baron General Henri Simon, who forbade his son's use of his surname in an artistic career, Joseph-Philippe Simon began as an actor under the pseudonym Lockroy at the Odéon-Théâtre de l'Europe and the Comédie-Française in Paris before devoting himself entirely to writing. For a few months in 1848 he served as provisional administrator of the Comédie-Française.
