Matthew Chau (born 9 November 1994) is an Australian badminton player.

[2] Chau competed in the men's doubles at the 2016 Summer Olympics alongside Sawan Serasinghe.

The now 22-year-old fell in love with the all rounded nature of the sport and says he enjoys that badminton demands speed, strength, endurance, skill, tactical smarts and hard work from its athletes.

Chau first partnered with Serasinghe at the 2013 Australian Youth Olympic Festival and the duo went on to secure the Rio quota spot for Australia by winning the 2016 Oceania Championships title.

[4] Chau also took home the men's doubles title with Serasinghe at the Waikato International tournament and competed at his first World Championships 2016 at just 20 years old in Jakarta, Indonesia.
