Matthew "Matty" McNeil (born 14 July 1976, Manchester, England) is an English footballer, currently playing for Stockport County, having transferred from Macclesfield Town in July 2007.

McNeil began his career with non-league club Stalybridge Celtic in 1999[1] and also played for Runcorn and Hyde United, where he was Hyde's supporters player of the year for two years in succession.[2] Following a successful two-month loan spell, he signed a permanent contract with League Two side Macclesfield Town in June 2006,[3] and made 35 league appearances in the 2006–07 season, scoring four goals.[1] He was offered a new contract at Macclesfield but joined Stockport County in July 2007, where manager Jim Gannon said of him, "He has all the qualities we want. He's very strong, hard working and well equipped for his role."[3] He made 22 appearances for Stockport, scoring six goals, before injury interrupted his 2007–08 season.[4][5]
