Matthews Kambale (born 27 December 1952) is a Malawian former long-distance runner.

At the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, Matthews ran the men's marathon,[1] finishing in 56th place with a time of 2:45:50. Kambale competed in both the 10,000 metres and the marathon at the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles:[2][3] He finished twelfth in heat two of the 10,000 metres and so failed to qualify for the next round, and he did not complete the marathon.
