Matthew Abood (né le 28 juin 1986 à Sydney) est un nageur australien en activité spécialiste des épreuves de sprint en nage libre. En 2011, alors que son palmarès était jusqu'alors vierge de toute récompense en compétition internationale, il décroche la médaille d'or au titre du relais 4 × 100 m nage libre lors des Championnats du monde organisés à Shanghai (Chine). Aligné en troisième relayeur au sein d'un quatuor composé de James Magnussen, Matthew Targett et Eamon Sullivan, il contribue à une surprenante victoire australienne aux dépens des Français et des Américains favoris de la course. En 3 min 11 s 00, les quatre hommes réalisent le meilleur temps de l'histoire vêtus de tenues en textile.
