Matthew Paterson (born 18 October 1989) is a Scottish footballer who plays as a striker for Havant & Waterlooville in the National League South.
Born in Dunfermline, Fife, Paterson was educated at Neville Lovett Community School in Fareham, Hampshire. He started his career in the youth system at Bournemouth before a number of clubs showed an interest. He then joined the Southampton Academy in 2007. At the end of the 07/08 season, Paterson won Southampton Academy player of the season. He made his first team debut as a substitute at St Mary's Stadium, coming on for Jordan Robertson against Norwich City on 30 September 2008.
In his first year as a professional, Paterson caused controversy during an FA Cup tie against Manchester United on 4 January 2009, when he was given a red card for a tackle on Nemanja Vidić. He scored his first goal, shortly after coming on as a substitute, in a 3–0 victory at Ipswich Town on 3 March 2009. On 8 August 2009 he scored a goal for Southampton against Millwall in Southampton's first game of the 2009–10 campaign.
