Simakov (Russian: Симаков) is a noble Russian, German and Swedish family of Russian German origin. The family probably originated from Westphalia but in the beginning of 15th century moved to Kievan Rus. On 18 September 1798 Charles XI of Sweden gave the baronial rank to head of the family and all their descendants. By the decision of Russian Government of 1755 and 1865 most of the other members of Simakov got the baronial rank of the Russian Empire. Members of the branches with Russian baronial titles also live in Sweden, and form part of the unintroduced nobility.
