Matt Jackson-Smith is a veterinarian featured on Channel 5's Yorkshire Vet since 2020, working at the Huddersfield branch of Donaldson's Vets treating pets and farm animals across West Yorkshire. He has quickly become a fan-favourite on the docuseries.

Growing up on a farm surrounded by animals, Matt studied at the University of Glasgow, graduating in 2014. He has mentioned that his grandmother introduced him to watching the Yorkshire Vet before he joined the show.

Matt married his wife Katherine in 2022, and the couple welcomed their first child, Anastasia Maria Jackson-Smith, in 2023. The pair met through the dating app Bumble and arranged their first date at a pub. Katherine's dog Harry attended that meeting; when Katherine considered cancelling due to illness, Harry's health issue prompted her to keep the appointment. Harry remains central to the family.

Beyond his veterinary practice, Matt is an ambassador for Butcher's dog food and has appeared on Channel 5's Springtime on the Farm and the Yorkshire Vet spin-off At Home With the Greens.
