Matley is a semi-rural area now in Greater Manchester, England where it is part of the Metropolitan Borough of Tameside.

Matley was a township of the ancient parish of Mottram in Longdendale in the Macclesfield Hundred of Cheshire. Under the Poor Law Amendment Act 1886, the township became a civil parish in its own right.

Between 1894 and 1936 Matley was a civil parish in the Tintwistle Rural District of Cheshire. The parish was abolished in 1936 and its area was divided between the municipal boroughs of Stalybridge (58 acres, pop. 147 in 1931), Hyde (307 acres, population 97 in 1931), Dukinfield (302 acres, population 75 in 1931) and Longdendale (38 acres, population 29 in 1931). In 1974 these boroughs and urban districts were all abolished and their former areas transferred to Greater Manchester to form part of the present-day Metropolitan Borough of Tameside.

The ancient parish church for the township of Matley was St. Michael in Mottram in Longdendale. The population was 285 in 1801, 252 in 1851, and 196 in 1901. (Source: GENUKI)
