Matt Aldridge, born on 11 March 1996, is a British sweep-rower who stroked the men's coxless four to consecutive European and world titles in 2022 and 2023 and won an Olympic bronze medal at the 2024 Summer Olympics. He grew up in Christchurch, Dorset, where his father Steve coached at the local rowing club and where watching sessions from the river-bank inspired him to join Christchurch Rowing Club. He studied sport and exercise science at Oxford Brookes University and rowed for its boat club. He joined Oliver Wilkes, David Ambler and Freddie Davidson in the senior coxless four in 2022, and in 2023 he won the Stewards' Challenge Cup at Henley Royal Regatta. At Vaires-sur-Marne in 2024 the British four finished third behind the United States and the Netherlands.
