Matthew Liam Doughty (born 2 November 1981) is an English former professional football player and manager.

He started his professional career at Chester City, but whilst at the club he was sent to prison for four months following an incident outside a nightclub in Warrington, this meant he missed Chester City's last game in the Football League before they were relegated. In 2001, he joined Rochdale where he spent three seasons before moving on to play for Halifax Town and Altrincham respectively. In 2010, he moved to Witton Albion before joining Hyde in March 2011. He later returned to Altrincham, before playing for Warrington Town and Trafford.

Following his retirement from football, he had a brief spell as manager of Altrincham.

In July 2023, Doughty appeared as one of the contestants on Gordon Ramsay's Hells Kitchen.
