Matthew Robert "Matt" Fink, better known by the stage name Doctor Fink, is an American keyboardist, record producer, and songwriter. He is best known as a member of The Revolution, the backing band for pop musician Prince. Fink won a Grammy Award in 1985 for the album Purple Rain. The recording has sold over 18 million copies since its release.

Matt Fink was a member of Prince's band from 1979. In the live performances around that time before the Dirty Mind album, Matt wore a costume of a jailbird. After that, Fink usually appeared for performance dressed in surgical scrubs and mask. He continued working with Prince until 1991 as an early member of the New Power Generation (though the band was not officially named until after Fink's departure). Fink was also a member of the jazz-fusion band Madhouse.

Notable work with Prince includes co-writing credits on the songs "Dirty Mind", "Computer Blue", "17 Days", "America" and "It's Gonna Be a Beautiful Night," as well as performing credits on the albums Dirty Mind, Controversy, Purple Rain, Around the World in a Day, Parade, Sign "O" the Times, The Black Album and Lovesexy, amongst others.
