Matt Geyer (born 5 September 1975 in Blacktown, New South Wales) is an Australian professional rugby league player for the Melbourne Storm in the National Rugby League competition. Geyer has represented for New South Wales and City Origin. Most of his career has been played at wing, but he has also played a large utility role at the club, including fullback, centre, five-eighth and hooker. Geyer is the younger brother of former Penrith Panthers player Mark Geyer.

Geyer started his career in 1997 for the Western Reds in the Super League competition, but then became one of the foundation members of the Melbourne Storm when he signed for the club in 1998. Since then, Geyer has become the most capped Melbourne Storm player, also holding the record for most tries for the club.

Geyer kicked the winning conversion in the 1999 Grand Final to earn the Storm a premiership in only their second year in the NRL competition. He replaced Craig Smith, who had been knocked out (resulting in the Storm being awarded a penalty try). The only current player remaining from the 1999 grand final squad, he has also been part of the Storm's 2006 and 2007 grand final campaigns. Geyer became the Storm's first player to make 200 appearances, against the Cronulla Sharks at Melbourne's Olympic Park in 2006. Geyer is currently contracted to the Storm until the end of the 2008 season, after which he will retire.
