Matthew Dowling (born 13 September 1974) is an Australian former professional rugby union player.

A speedy Gordon winger, Dowling was signed by the NSW Waratahs in 1997 after topping the try-scoring for that season's AAMI Cup.[1] He competed with the Waratahs from 1998 to 2001, making 30 appearances in the Super 12 competition. In a match against the touring Ireland national team in 1999, Dowling scored four tries in the space of 27 minutes during the second half, in a 39-24 Waratahs win.[2] He finished his career with a season at Italian club Gran Parma.[3]
