Matthew the Leader (Czech: Matěj Vůdce; died 1409 in České Budějovice) was a bandit who was raiding caravans of the Rosenberg family in the early 15th century.
According to the acta negra maleficorum [cs] of Jihlava, he led a large group, which included famous military leader Jan Žižka.
It is likely he was supported by nobles who sided with Wenceslaus IV of Bohemia against the League of Lords, such as John Sokol of Lamberg.
Although mainly focused on theft, Matthew also attempted to occupy some castles in South Bohemia.
With help from the Bítov family of Lichtenburg [cs], Matthew further attempted to take the Rosenberg held castle of Velešín near Českého Krumlova, but failed.
