Matthew Peter Headrick (born ca. 1973) is an American physicist who is a Professor of Physics at Brandeis University. He received his PhD from Harvard University in 2002 under Shiraz Minwalla and his A.B from Princeton University in 1994. Headrick is known for his contributions to the quantum information perspective on holography.

Headrick is notable as the 1990 winner of the Intel (then Westinghouse) Science Talent Search while a high school student at the University of Chicago Laboratory Schools, an event that generated intense media coverage. He appeared on talk shows including Today. In response to the award, then-Illinois Gov. Thompson declared a "Matthew Headrick Day" and the US House of Representatives also made a proclamation.
