Matthew Fontaine Maury (Spotsylvania County, 14 januari 1806 - Lexington, 1 februari 1873) was een Amerikaans meteoroloog en oceanograaf. Hij maakte de allereerste kaart van de bodem van de Noord-Atlantische oceaan. Hij maakte ook aantekeningen over zeestromen en weersomstandigheden en legde hiermee de basis voor weerroutering.
