Matthew David Blinkhorn (born 2 March 1985 in Blackpool, Lancashire) is an English professional footballer who currently plays as a striker for Morecambe.

On November 22, 2006, when he was at Blackpool, he was loaned to Bury, but Blackpool manager Simon Grayson included a 24-hour recall clause in the contract, which began 28 days into the loan period. The loan period was due to end on February 22, 2007, but Blackpool cut it short and he returned on February 9.

He was loaned to Morecambe for a month on March 2, 2007.^[1] Blinkhorn made an immediate impact, scoring the first goal in a 2-0 victory over St Albans. By the end of his loan stint he had scored eight goals in twelve games.

Blinkhorn joined Morecambe on a permanent basis on June 28, 2007.^[2]
