Matthew "Mattie" Murphy is an Irish former hurling manager and former player. Though he was manager of the Galway senior hurling team on two occasions, was as manager of the Galway minor team that he experienced his greatest success in terms of major titles won.

Born in Turloughmore, County Galway, Murphy was introduced to hurling in his youth. After coming to prominence at underage levels with the Turloughmore club, he later transferred to Gort. A two-time Connacht medal winner with the Gort senior team, Murphy also won two county senior championship medals.

Murphy has been involved at coaching at all levels at club and inter-county for four decades. Between 1992 and 2013 he became the most successful manager in the history of the All-Ireland Minor Championship after guiding Galway to six All-Ireland titles. As manager of the Galway senior team on two separate occasions he won three Connacht titles and two National Hurling League medals.
