Matthieu Louis-Jean (born 22 February 1976 in Mont-Saint-Aignan) is a French former footballer, who is currently a scout for Nottingham Forest. He finished his career at Norwich in June 2005 after several seasons at Nottingham Forest, who he joined from Le Havre AC in 1999 following a loan spell. An experienced full-back, Louis-Jean made 198 league appearances for Forest. His transfer to Norwich was a player exchange deal that saw Gary Holt move to the City Ground.

Louis-Jean made just two appearances for Norwich at the start of his first season with the club (2005–06) before injury problems ruled him out of action for the remainder of the campaign. The Frenchman was near a return to the first team, but an injury playing for the reserve team saw his recovery set back yet again.

Norwich manager Peter Grant announced in February 2007 that Louis-Jean would be released at the end of the 2006–07 season.
