Matthew Shaw Viney (born 28 July 1954, in Melbourne, Victoria), is a Labor Party politician, and a former member of the Victorian Legislative Council for the Eastern Victoria Region.

Viney was first elected to the Frankston East electorate during the 1999 Frankston East By-election,[1] which was one of the factors in Steve Bracks winning a minority government. Frankston East was abolished in the following election and Viney was elected to Chelsea Province in the 2002 Victorian state elections.[1][2] In 2006 Victorian state elections, Viney was elected to the Eastern Victoria Region.[1][2]

Viney is a supporter of the Collingwood Magpies[2] and in 2008 was also chosen to head the 2008 Victorian Spirit of ANZAC Prize.
