Matthew Stephen Sinatro (born March 22, 1960) is an American former professional baseball player, coach, and scout.

Sinatro was listed as 5 feet 9 inches (1.75 m) tall and 174 pounds (79 kg); he threw and batted right-handed.

He was never a regular player in the majors, topping out at 37 games in an MLB season. His 48 career big-league hits included six doubles, one triple, and a home run, a two-run blow off Pete Falcone of the New York Mets on August 27, 1982. The homer contributed to a 9–8 Atlanta win in a season when the Braves prevailed over the Los Angel
