Matthew Sweet (born 2 December 1969 [1]) is principally a British broadcaster and television critic.

He presented a radio programme on the history of the Doctor Who theme during the interval of the Doctor Who at the Proms (2010) concert on BBC Radio 3. He was asked to present several documentaries for the so-called "classic" range of Doctor Who DVDs — including Riverside Story, One Hit Wonder, and All's Wells That Ends Wells — as well as the very well-received 50th anniversary documentary, Me, You and Doctor Who the BBC's The Culture Show. In the same year, along with Nicholas Briggs, he was one of the on stage interviewers for the Doctor Who 50th Celebration Convention at the Excel Centre over the 50th Anniversary weekend. He also presented The Wilderness Years for BBC Radio 4.
