Matthew Nable (born 8 March 1972) is an Australian film and television actor, writer, sports commentator and former professional rugby league player.

After playing in the Winfield Cup Premiership during the 1990s for the Manly-Warringah and South Sydney clubs, he wrote and starred in the rugby league-centred drama The Final Winter in 2007.

Nable grew up on the Northern Beaches of Sydney and also, as a young boy, spent two years at Portsea, Victoria, when his father, Dave, a soldier, was stationed there,[3][4] and another period of his childhood in Albury.

After another season in England where he played for Carlisle before moving to the London Broncos,[7] Nable quit football and then tried his hand at boxing, fighting for the state light-heavyweight title as an amateur.

After encouragement from his mentor, Booker Prize-winning novelist Thomas Keneally,[4] Nable wrote a screenplay for The Final Winter based on his unpublished novel of the same name.
