Matthew Richardson (born 17 April 1999) is a track cyclist who represented Australia until August 2024 and Great Britain from September 2024 onwards.

Richardson was born in Maidstone, Kent in England to English parents and moved to Australia for his father's work when he was nine years old.

[5] At the 2020 UCI Track Cycling World Championships, Richardson won a bronze medal in the team sprint with Thomas Cornish and Nathan Hart.

[10] On 19 August, after the conclusion of the 2024 Olympics, it was announced that Richardson would be leaving the Australian cycling roster and would instead represent Great Britain, the country of his birth, after his application to switch allegiance was accepted by the UCI.

[10] It was later reported that AusCycling was considering whether it wanted to enforce a two-year non-competition order on Richardson, which would ban him from competing at international track cycling events until 2026.

He won his first British national title in the individual sprint, beating reigning champion Peter Mitchell in the gold medal final.
