Matteo Brida (1699-1744) was an Italian painter active mainly in his native Verona.

He trained under Padre Simbenati in Verona, who also trained Giovanni Battista Caregari Targa.[1] Among the pupils or those influenced by Brida are Felice Boscaratti[2] and Francesco Lorenzi.[3] The painting restorer, Luca Brida, is thought to be his son.[4]

He painted two prophets for the church of San Marco in San Girolamo in Vicenza.
