Sir Matthew Wood (29 September 1857 – 13 July 1908) was an English cricketer. Wood was a right-handed batsman who was an underarm slow bowler, though with which arm he bowled with is unknown.

The son of Sir Francis Wood the 3rd Baronet of the Page Wood baronets, and Louisa Mary Hodgson, Wood was born at Newport on the Isle of Wight.[1] He was educated at Winchester College.[2] He would make a single appearance in first-class cricket for Hampshire against Derbyshire in 1876 at the County Ground, Derby.[3] In a match which Derbyshire won by 8 wickets, Wood was twice dismissed for a duck, by John Platts in Hampshire's first-innings and by William Hickton in their second-innings.[4]

He succeeded his father as the 4th Baronet on 21 April 1868.[1] He later married a Maud Mary Brown on 31 July 1894.[1] Wood died at Kensington, London on 13 July 1908. As he died without issue, he was succeeded as the 5th Baronet by his brother Sir John Page Wood.[1]
