Matias Laine (born 25 April 1990 in Joensuu) is a Finnish racing driver.
Laine began his motorsport career in karting in 2003, finishing as runner-up in the Finnish Raket Cup Championship. In 2005 he won the Finnish Championship for the ICA Junior class.
Laine began his formula racing career in the 2008 Formula Renault 2.0 UK Winter Cup season with CR Scuderia. He finished ninth in the championship with 50 points. He also completed two races of 2008 Portugal Winter Series FR2.0 at Estoril. Laine finished third and thirteenth in those races.
The following season, Laine competed in both the Formula Renault 2.0 UK and Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 championships for CRS Racing and Motopark Academy respectively. He finished fourteenth in the UK standings, scoring points in each of the twelve races, before injury curtailed his season at Snetterton. In the Eurocup, he took 22nd place in the championship with six points that were earned in the second race at Silverstone Circuit.
2010 will see Laine move to the Formula 3 Euro Series, competing for Motopark Academy. He joined fellow Formula Renault graduates António Félix da Costa and Adrian Quaife-Hobbs at the team. He earned his first point finishing ninth at Hockenheim round because Esteban Gutiérrez who finished sixth was guest driver and was ineligible to scoring points.
