Matthew Paul Gutierrez (born June 9, 1984) is an American former professional football player who was a quarterback in the National Football League (NFL) and Arena Football League (AFL). He was signed by the New England Patriots as an undrafted free agent in 2007. He played college football for the Idaho State Bengals.

He was also a member of the Kansas City Chiefs, Chicago Bears, Omaha Nighthawks, Washington Redskins, St. Louis Rams, Arizona Rattlers and Kansas City Command.

Gutierrez played high school football for perennial powerhouse De La Salle High School in Concord, California, where he never lost a game as a Spartan. He was teammates with former NFL running back Maurice Jones-Drew.

Gutierrez went on to play at the University of Michigan, where he was slated to be the starter in 2004 before he suffered a shoulder injury (a torn labrum) before the season opener during pregame warm-ups. Backup quarterback freshman Chad Henne played well during the games Gutierrez was unable to play and was thus awarded the starting job. Gutierrez then transferred to Idaho State University, where he started at quarterback in 2006.

He appeared in five games with the team as a rookie while being inactive for 11 others.
