Matthew Feldman (March 22, 1919 – April 11, 1994)〔Social Security Death Index via (Ancestry.com ).〕 was an American Democratic Party politician who served as a New Jersey State Senator and Mayor of Teaneck, New Jersey.

==Early life==
Feldman was born March 22, 1919 in Jersey City, New Jersey, the son of Samuel and Mary Feldman, both immigrants from Poland. He had an older brother, Norman, and a younger brother, Melvin. He excelled in basketball and boxing, and joined the boxing team at the University of North Carolina. He used his physical prowess to "bust up" pro-Nazi German American Bund rallies held in North Bergen in the late 1930s, acting as a "heckler, protester, and street fighter."
He served as a U.S. Air Force Captain during World War II, and later served as New Jersey State Commander of the Jewish War Veterans. He later attended Panzer College. He moved to Teaneck in 1947 after marrying Muriel Gunsberg. Feldman joined the Federal Wine and Liquor Company, a liquor distribution business started by his father and uncle.
Leon Sokol, a New Jersey lawyer who was a longtime friend of Feldman, says that in 1946, Feldman was driving along Route 17 with his family on their way to the Catskills when he spotted a sign for new housing in Ridgewood. It read 'Restricted Development' – code for no Jews or blacks. Feldman was so furious that he stopped the car, called some veteran friends and staged the forerunner of a 'flash' protest. His wife, Muriel, was furious, his kids screaming in the car."
