Matthew Boyd (born 27 August 1982) is an Australian rules football player who has come through the Western Bulldogs' rookie list, debuting in 2003. Prior to that he had played for the Dandenong U18s and Franston in the VFL. He was able to consolidate a position in the senior team during 2004 and in 2005 could be considered as being in the Bulldogs' best 18, having played in 17 games for a total of 44. He has mostly played in the midfield where he has proven himself to be a consistent ball winner as well as having the capacity to be a "run with" player. He played with the number 42 until 2007 when he took the number 5 from the retired Rohan Smith.
The 2006 Record describes Boyd as having tenacious defensive skills while also possessing attacking flair.
Matthew Boyd is the grand nephew of Australian football vendor icon Johnny Boyd better know to most as the Peanut Man.
