Matti Torvinen (born 30 January 1957) is a Finnish politician. He represented the Finns Party in the City Council of Rovaniemi since 2012, being elected in 2012 and 2017. Torvinen was a candidate in the 2015 parliamentary election, and the 2269 votes he gained were enough for a substitute place.
In June 2017, another MP Hanna Mäntylä left the Parliament, and it was confirmed that Torvinen will replace her on 1 July 2017. At the time, Finns Party's parliamentary group had split in two due to the aftermath of the recent leadership election. Torvinen joined the New Alternative, the faction that broke away from the Finns Party's parliamentary group. He subsequently resigned from the Finns Party.
