Matthieu Hartley (born 4 February 1960) is an English musician born in Smallfield, England. He is best known as the original keyboardist for The Cure, but before that he and Simon Gallup were involved in two other bands called Lockjaw and The Magazine Spies.
When Matthieu and Simon first joined The Cure, they helped drive the band in an entirely new direction with the recording of their second album, Seventeen Seconds, a much darker album than their debut, Three Imaginary Boys. Matthieu also served as one of the keyboards players for the Cult Hero project. After a lengthy world tour to support Seventeen Seconds, he quit the band due to a difference in opinions with the other three members. Since leaving The Cure, he has played with different local bands, including Fools Dance in their early stages, and worked at a zoo and as a laborer. He still keeps in touch with Robert Smith, and lives close by.
