Matthew James Nicholson (born 2 October 1974) is an Australian former cricketer who played in one Test match in 1998 and over 100 first-class games for New South Wales, Western Australia, Northamptonshire and Surrey.
His career was ravaged by injuries as well as chronic fatigue syndrome, following a dose of Glandular Fever but a strict diet enabled him to manage the problem, and he became a vital part of WA's and New South Wales' bowling line-ups.
In 1998 Nicholson earned a surprise call up to play his one and only Test against England in Melbourne.
