Winter Child is the first studio album of American singer/songwriter Matt Duke. It was released by the student-run record label Mad Dragon in the US on September 12, 2006, and distributed by Ryko Distribution.

After the production of Mad Dragon's first compilation album, XYX, which featured Duke, Mad Dragon asked Duke sign a deal to produce a full-length album. Production for the album began thereafter and continued for the next year and a half. The original producer of the album was Jim Klein, a professor and director of the Mad Dragon program, but disagreements during production lead Duke to switch production to Stewart Lerman and Steuart Smith at the Shinebox Studio in New York. A student-produced music video was made for the song "Oysters" and the audio CD was released as an enhanced CD that featured an electronic press kit.

Winter Child uses literary inspirations as a basis for some songs. The title track is a reference to the Ernest Hemingway short story Hills Like White Elephants and the song "Listen To Your Window" takes inspiration from John Banville.

All songs written by Matt Duke.
