Matthew Lloyd (born 24 May 1983) is an Australian professional road bicycle racer, who rides for the Jelly Belly–Maxxis team. Lloyd is the first Australian cyclist to win a King of the Mountains competition in a grand tour. He turned professional in 2007 with the Predictor-Lotto team, after riding for the SouthAustralia.com/AIS team. He was an Australian Institute of Sport scholarship holder.

Lloyd was released by Omega Pharma-Lotto in April 2011 for "behavioural reasons" rather than a drug problem.

Lloyd signed a two-year deal with Lampre–ISD in November 2011.
