Kelvin Matthews (born 15 December 1953) is a former Australian rules footballer. He is the brother of Leigh Matthews, whom he played with at Hawthorn. Kelvin was a centreman and was a member of the Hawks' 1976 premiership side.
Slightly smaller than his brother, Kelvin was heavier and skilful enough to represent Victoria in an interstate game in 1974.
In a match against Fitzroy in 1977, Kelvin kicked eight goals and Leigh six.
Kelvin also did Aussie Rules coaching sessions in the Riverina township of Ganmain in the 1970s.[citation needed]
