Matt Haarms (born 22 April 1997) is a Dutch college basketball player for the BYU Cougars of the West Coast Conference (WCC). He previously played for the Purdue Boilermakers.

Haarms is the son of Martine van Hoorn and Peter Haarms. He was born and grew up in Amsterdam. He initially played soccer and judo before taking up basketball. Haarms purchased an outdoor hoop at the age of 14 so he could practice more. Haarms joined a club team, the Harlemlakers, and admittedly was very poor at first but soon developed into one of the top talents in the country. After Brord Brugman set up a private practice session, Haarms then moved to Spain and played for Joventut Badalona's junior team. He helped the team reach the championship game of the tournament and hit 5-of-7 three-point shots in the semifinal against Real Madrid. He was offered a professional contract in Spain but declined the invitation. Instead, Haarms moved to the United States to complete a postgraduate year at Sunrise Christian Academy in Bel Aire, Kansas. He started to receive collegiate attention when he joined the Chauncey Billups AAU Elite team. Haarms committed to Purdue over offers from Colorado, Vanderbilt and Washington State, becoming the Boilermakers' sixth international player since 1952. He chose Purdue because he liked coach Matt Painter and the program's record of developing big men.
