'''Matthew Robran''' (born 19 March 1971) is a former [[Australian rules football]]er who represented {{AFL Haw}} and {{AFL Ade}} in the [[Australian Football League]] during the 1990s.<ref name=encyc>{{Ref AFL Encyc|5th|623}}</ref>

Robran was the first son of South Australian football legend [[Barrie Robran]], and as a result he and his younger brother [[Jonathon Robran|Jonathon]], who also played AFL football, often faced unfair comparison with their father.<ref>{{cite web|author=Josh Francou|author-link=Josh Francou|url=http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/sport/afl/sons-just-stars-in-their-own-right/story-fn83zjkh-1226069959927|title=Sons just stars in their own right|date=6 June 2011|work=[[The Advertiser (Adelaide)|The Advertiser]]}}</ref>
