Markus Matthiasson (born November 16, 1975 in Uppsala) is a Swedish ice hockey winger currently plays for EHC Black Wings Linz of the Austrian Hockey League

Matthiasson began his career in 1992, playing in Division 1 with Almtuna IS, based in his hometown of Uppsala. He spent four seasons with them until moving to another Division 1 side Timrå IK. In 1997, he moved up to the Eliteserien by joining Djurgårdens IF. After a disappointing season he moved back to Division 1 with Huddinge IK and in 1999 he retuned to Timrå guiding them to promotion from the Allsvenskan to the Elitserien. He stayed until 2004 where he joined the Malmö Redhawks where they were relegated to HockeyAllsvenkan. They won promotion back to Elitserien after just one season in 2005-06 where Matthiasson led the them in points with 40 (20G & 20A). 2006-07 was a huge disappointment to Matthiasson as followed his steller performance in the last season with just 8 goals in 55 games as Malmö were relegated again. In 2007, Matthiasson joined Slovenian side Acroni Jesenice who play in Austria. He was second in points with 32 behind fellow Swede Conny Strömberg.
