Matt Geyer (born 5 September 1975 in Blacktown, New South Wales) is an Australian former professional rugby league footballer of the 1990s and 2000s. A New South Wales State of Origin representative winger, he played his club football primarily with the Melbourne Storm of the National Rugby League competition, winning the 1999 and 2007 grand finals with them. He also represented City Origin and played for the Western Reds, making him one of a handful of first-grade players to never have played for a New South Wales, Queensland or New Zealand club. Geyer is also the younger brother of rugby league personality Mark Geyer.

Geyer started his career in 1997 for the Western Reds in the Super League competition where his older brother Mark was captain. Upon the club's dissolution at the end of 1997 he became one of the foundation members of the Melbourne Storm when they started their first season in 1998. Since then, Geyer has become the most capped Melbourne Storm player, also holding the record for most tries for the club. Most of his career has been played at wing, but he has also played a large utility role at the club, including fullback, centre, five-eighth, halfback and hooker. While with the Storm he played for the Norths Devils in the 1998 Queensland Cup.
