Matthew Richardson (born 5 December 1984) is an English professional golfer who has played in both Europe and North America.
Richardson was a successful amateur golfer, with the pinnacle of his amateur career being an appearance in the 2005 Walker Cup. He turned professional later that year, and qualified for the European Tour at the end of 2006 via qualifying school. However, after a tough debut season, where he made only four cuts, Richardson moved to North America and began playing on the Canadian Tour. In 2009 he qualified for the second-tier Nationwide Tour, with a best finish of third in the Mexico Open. In 2010 Richardson qualified for his first professional major, the U. S. Open, and secured a return to the Nationwide Tour. He is currently playing on PGA Tour Canada.
