Matthew Shaw Viney (born 28 July 1954) is former Australian politician who served in both houses of the Parliament of Victoria.

Viney was first elected to the electoral district of Frankston East electorate at the 1999 supplementary election, which was one of the factors in Steve Bracks winning a minority government.[1] Frankston East was abolished at the following election, and Viney was elected to Chelsea Province in the Legislative Council.[1][2] In 2006, Viney was elected to the Eastern Victoria Region following electoral reform in the upper house.[1][2]
