Matthew Watson (born 16 July 1992) is a former professional Australian rules footballer who played for the Carlton Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL).

Watson is the nephew of Essendon premiership player Steven Alessio. He became known at Carlton for his long, accurate left-footed kicks out of defence, and as a result, Carlton fans would shout "woof!" whenever Watson kicked the ball: Watson was the fourth long-kicking left-footed Carlton player to receive this traditional treatment, after Val Perovic in the 1980s, Ang Christou in the 1990s and Chris Bryan in the 2000s.
