Sidney Alton Ponson (born November 2, 1976 in Noord , Aruba) is a Major League Baseball pitcher who has played most of his career with the Baltimore Orioles.

Ponson attended Maria College . He was picked up by the Orioles as an amateur in 1993. Except for a brief 2003 stint for the San Francisco Giants, he has spent his entire career in Baltimore.

Ponson has acquired a reputation for being inconsistent, especially in relation to decision games. He has a strong fastball, and a decent slider. He has also had problems with his weight over the last few years.

During the holiday season in 2004, Ponson was arrested and charged with assaulting an Aruban judgement following an incident about a complaint of Ponson's handling of his powerboat.
