The '''Matfriede''' or '''Matfriedinger''', both of which are German terms, is a [Frankish](/source/Franks) noble family of the 9th-11th centuries, or possibly several families who used similar names, that has been proposed by modern historians.

The name of the family is based on the observation that the name Matfried was used by repeatedly by members of this family. However the exact connections between these possible relatives can't for the most part be confirmed by direct evidence.

==The elder Matfriede==
The first person proposed in this family is [Matfried I](/source/Matfrid), a count of [Orleans](/source/Orleans) in the time of [Louis the Pious](/source/Louis_the_Pious). He appears to have had a son also named Matfried.{{sfn|Hlawitschka|1969|page=171}}

==Counts of Metz==
Adalhard, the ancestor of the second line of Matfrieds, possibly married a daughter or niece of this second Matfried.{{sfn|Hlawitschka|1969|page=171}}
