Matthew Gill (born November 8, 1980 in Cambridge, England) is a professional footballer with English Conference side Exeter City.

Gill, a midfielder, began his career as a trainee with then league two side Peterborough United. On 25 April 1998, during the 1997–98 season, Gill broke through into Peterborough's first team during a 3-1 loss to Torquay. In over seven years at Peterborough, Gill made 149 first team appearances, scoring 5 goals.

On 23 May 2004, Gill moved to league two side Notts County for the 2004–05 season. After a tough start at Meadow Lane, Gill was placed on the transfer list by struggling manager Gary Mills. In November, 2004 Mills was replaced by Ian Richardson who immediately removed him from the list. Gill went on to make 57 appearances for the magpies before being transferred to conference side Exeter City on 16 January 2006 during the 2005–06 season, on a free transfer.

Since joining Exeter in 2006, Gill has quickly established himself as a first-team regular. He was sent off in the 2007 Conference National Playoff Final for a headbutt, becoming the first player to see red at the new Wembley Stadium.
