Matilda Harriet Jane Hunter (often referred to as "Mattie") is a fictional character in the Australian soap opera Home and Away. She has been portrayed by actress Indiana Evans since January 2004.

When Matilda’s father, Jack Hunter, decided there was no future on the farm, he sent his youngest daughter and her twin brother, Henry (Tobi Atkins), to boarding school. Matilda and Henry would visit their family during school holidays in Summer Bay.

This became more of a permanent arrangement when their father died and Matilda soon settled into Summer Bay. While at first Matilda was a selfish, snobby "drama queen", she mellowed.

She is passionate about music, movies and horse riding and is kind and caring toward animals. When Matilda met Lucas Holden (Rhys Wakefield), her new neighbour, they soon fell in love. When Matilda's mother Beth (Clarissa House) and Lucas' father Tony (Jon Sivewright) fell in love, they decided to share the same house.

When Matilda and Lucas broke up, Matilda was devastated. As a result of this stress, issues with self-esteem plus having family members Kit (Amy Mizzi) and Robbie (Jason Smith) lost in the bush, Matilda developed bulimia. Having overcome that, she is currently trying to focus on friends, school and a new relationship with Ric Dalby (Mark Furze), whom she recently lost her virginity to.
