Matthew James Bloomfield (born 8 February 1984) is an English professional football manager and former player who is currently head coach of EFL Championship club Oxford United.
A product of Ipswich Town's academy, Bloomfield joined Wycombe Wanderers on a free transfer in 2003, having made just two EFL Cup appearances for Ipswich. He spent 19 years with Wycombe, playing for the club in League Two, League One and the Championship, and was in the team that reached the semi-final of the 2006–07 Football League Cup. At the start of his final professional season in 2021, he was named as a first team coach, in addition to his role as a player.
Following his retirement in 2022, he moved into full-time management, initially with Colchester United in EFL League Two, before returning to manage Wycombe in February 2023. He left Wycombe in January 2025 for the vacant managerial role at Luton Town, but was dismissed nine months later. He was appointed head coach of Oxford United in January 2026.
