Matthew Kent (born 2 July 1980 in Melbourne, Australia) is a baseball player.
Kent signed with the Seattle Mariners in 1997 at the age of 16 as a catcher and from 1998–1999 he played for the AZL Mariners in the Arizona League. In 2000, Kent was promoted to A− with the Everett AquaSox. After only producing a poor season with the bat, Kent was released from the Seattle organisation for the 2001 season.
In 2006, the Boston Red Sox picked up Kent after a six-year absence in the States and played A+ ball for the Wilmington Blue Rocks as well as playing a few games for the Pawtucket Red Sox. However, Kent failed to product with the bat, batting a dismal .133 for the season and was released by Boston at the end of the season.
