Matthew Edward Cassar (born 16 October 1972) is a former Australian cricketer. He was a right-handed batsman and a right-arm medium-fast bowler who represented Derbyshire from 1994 to 2000 and Northamptonshire from 2001 and 2002.
Cassar joined Derbyshire in the 1994 season and played a promising first-class game against the New Zealanders in June. However he played primarily in the Second XI Championship, debuting against Gloucestershire, and scoring a half-century in his second innings. A regular fixture in the Second XI team until the 1997 season, he made his breakthrough in County Cricket in that year.
He played consistently for the team until the 2002 season, when he transferred to Northamptonshire. Lower-division cricket was not to prove fruitful for him, however, and he left the game at the end of the season.
Cassar's former wife, Jane Smit, has played Test cricket for the English women's cricket team since 1992.
