Matthew Phillip Prater (born August 10, 1984) is an American professional football placekicker for the Arizona Cardinals of the National Football League (NFL). Regarded as one of the best long distance kickers in NFL history, he held the NFL record for longest field goal (64 yards) from 2013 until 2021^[2] and holds the NFL record for most 50+ yard field goals in a career, 81 as of 2024.

He played college football for the UCF Knights, and was originally signed by the Lions as an undrafted free agent in 2006. He was cut by the Denver Broncos after completing a suspension for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy. With the Lions in the 2016 and 2017 seasons, Prater set the NFL records for consecutive field goal conversions of 50+ yards (14 field goals) and 55+ yards (seven field goals).
