Matt Riser (born June 25, 1984) is an American college baseball coach and former player, who is the current head baseball coach of the Memphis Tigers. He played college baseball at Pearl River Community College and Tulane from 2003–2006. He served as the head coach of the Southeastern Louisiana Lions (2014–2023).

He grew up in Picayune, Mississippi, where he played baseball with Major League Baseball player Rhyne Hughes. After a playing career at Pearl River Community College and Tulane and an appearance in the 2005 College World Series, Riser coached for one season as an assistant with the Green Wave under Rick Jones. He then moved to Southeastern Louisiana for six seasons. After head coach Jay Artigues resigned to become athletic director following the 2013 season, Riser was named interim head coach. Riser was made permanent on January 24, 2014, the first day of spring practice. He is the older brother of Alex Riser who served as a captain for the Pearl River Community College Wildcats Baseball Team and played under Hall of Fame Coach Hill Denson at Belhaven University.
