Holbeach St Matthew is a small fenland village in the South Holland district of southern Lincolnshire, England. It lies 6 miles (10 km) north-east from Holbeach, 1 mile (1.6 km) south from The Wash, and within Holbeach Marsh.

In 1885 Kelly’s noted that the village was in the ecclesiastical parish of Holbeach Marsh, that a school for 72 children was about to be built, that its area was of 9,240 acres (37.4 km²), and had an 1881 population of 743. The hamlet's chapel of ease, dedicated to St Matthew, was built 1868-69 by Ewan Christian in Early English style, and was capable of holding 110 persons.^[1] It is constructed of brick, has a combined nave and chancel, a south porch, and an east of nave turret with bell.^[2] The chapel, now redundant, has been converted to residential use.^[3]
