Sir Matthew Digby Wyatt (1820 – 1877) was a British architect and art historian. He was the first Slade Professor of Fine Art at the University of Cambridge.
He became Secretary of the Great Exhibition, Surveyor of the East India Company and secretary of the Royal Institute of British Architects. In 1866 he was awarded the Royal Gold Medal.
