Matthew Charles Turner (born June 24, 1994) is an American professional soccer player who plays as a goalkeeper for Major League Soccer club New England Revolution, on loan from Ligue 1 club Lyon, and the United States national team.
Not playing soccer until 14 years old, Turner played for Fairfield University and went undrafted in the 2016 MLS SuperDraft, though signed with Major League Soccer club New England Revolution after a successful preseason trial. After two seasons he became the club's primary goalkeeper, later winning the MLS Goalkeeper of the Year award in 2021. In 2022, Turner joined Premier League club Arsenal and the following year moved to Nottingham Forest. In his second season, he went on loan with Crystal Palace, where he won the FA Cup in 2025.
Turner made his debut for the United States in January 2021 at age 27, quickly becoming the team's starting goalkeeper. With the U.S., he won the CONCACAF Gold Cup in 2021 and the CONCACAF Nations League in 2023 and 2024, winning the best goalkeeper award for the 2021 and 2023 competitions.
