Dwayne Mattis (born 31 July 1981) is an Irish professional football (soccer) player. He is a midfielder and currently plays for Bury F.C.

Huddersfield-born Mattis began his career as a trainee with Huddersfield Town, debuting on 1 May 1998 in the First Division match which Huddersfield drew 2-2 with Crystal Palace. Mattis came on as a 38th minute susbtitute for Jon Dyson.

Mattis played his second match - the final game of 1998-99 - eight days later, but didn't play again until the second game of 2001-02, more than two years later. However, this was the breakthrough season for Mattis, who played a total of 29 league matches that season. Another full season followed, but in 2003-04 Mattis played only five games, including just one full match - the 6-2 defeat at Scunthorpe United.

Released at the season's end, Mattis joined Bury and made his debut on 7 August 2004 in the 3-1 home win over Yeovil Town. He has appeared regularly for the club since then.

Mattis has represented the Republic of Ireland at under-21 level.
