Matt Watson (born February 5, 1996) is an American YouTuber, comedian, musician, and podcaster. Alongside Ryan Magee, he is the co-creator and co-host of the variety-comedy YouTube channel SuperMega, which has almost a million subscribers on the site. SuperMega's videos include comedy sketches, Let's Plays, vlogs, movie commentary tracks, and their weekly video podcast, Supermegashow.

Watson grew up in South Carolina, and started making comedy sketches for YouTube in 2008. After moving to California in 2015, he joined Magee and Daniel Kyre in producing their comedy YouTube channel Cyndago—and editing videos for Markiplier, one of the site's most popular creators. Cyndago disbanded soon after due to Kyre's death. In 2016, Watson and Magee created SuperMega, and stopped working for Markiplier. From 2016 to 2019, the duo edited and often guest hosted the popular Let's Play channel Game Grumps. In 2022, Watson and Magee published the comedy fiction novel SuperMega Saves the Troops, depicting themselves in an alternate history of the 2011 killing of Osama bin Laden.

Watson started his music career by co-producing comedy rap music videos for his various YouTube projects. The video for Cyndago's 2015 rap song "Blonde Boyz" became a viral hit by 2020, and has gained 12 million views on YouTube as of 2025. With Watson's debut EP Ouch! (2020), he began making solo indie pop and synth pop music, with less- or non-comedic tones; he continued this style on the singles "Bored" and "Monopoly" (2021), and his debut album See You There (2022).
