Matthew "Matty" Young (born October 25, 1985 in Leeds, West Yorkshire) is a professional football midfielder currently without a club.

Young started his career with Huddersfield Town. His first goal for the club was the equalizing goal in Huddersfield's 1–1 draw against Chesterfield at the Galpharm Stadium on January 27, 2007.

His first away goal for the club was a scant consolation goal in the humiliating 5-1 defeat against Nottingham Forest at the City Ground on March 3. The humiliating defeat was to be the end of manager Peter Jackson's second spell in charge of the Terriers.

The 2007-08 season didn't bring much joy to Young. He missed most of the season due to injury and when Andy Ritchie tried to send him out on loan to either Chesterfield or Farsley Celtic, injury ruled him out again. He had a trial at Football League Two side Rotherham United in April 2008.
