Matthew Elliott (born 8 December 1964) is an Australian former rugby league player and is the coach of the Penrith Panthers in the National Rugby League since 2007.
Elliott played for the St. George Dragons in the 1992 Grand Final against the Brisbane Broncos and was later appointed coach of the Bradford Bulls in the English Super League.
After serving as assistant to Canberra Raiders coach Mal Meninga during the 2001 season, Elliott was made coach for the 2002 premiership. During his tenure at the Raiders, Canberra won 59 and drew 1 of their 125 games, including four finals appearances in five seasons.
Elliott's most successful coaching season was 2003 when the Raiders won 16 of 24 games but were eliminated from the finals without winning a game.
On February 19, 2006, it was announced that Elliott would coach the Penrith Panthers from 2007 onwards, having signed a three-year deal. Elliott succeeded John Lang in this position.
