Matthew Robinson Sutherland (born July 18, 1894 in Griswood, Manitoba; year of death unknown) was a politician in Manitoba, Canada. He served in the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba as a Liberal-Progressive from 1936 to 1949, and again from 1953 to 1958.
The son of Robert Sutherland, Sutherland was educated at local schools, and worked as a farmer. He was a shareholder in Co-Operative Dairy and Poultry, and enlisted for service in World War I in 1916. Sutherland also served for twenty years as a school trustee, and for fifteen as a steward in the United Church.
He was first elected to the Manitoba legislature in the 1953 provincial election, defeating Conservative candidate E.D. Adler by 191 votes in the constituency of Lansdowne. Sutherland, a Liberal, ran as a supporter of the province's Liberal-Progressive government.
He was re-elected by acclamation in the 1941 election, and easily defeated a challenger from the CCF in 1945.
From 1940 to 1950, Manitoba was governed by an alliance of Liberal-Progressives and Progressive Conservatives. In the 1949 provincial election, Sutherland lost his seat by forty votes to Progressive Conservative candidate Thomas Seens, who was also a supporter of the coalition government. The Progressive Conservatives left the coalition in 1950, and Sutherland defeated Seens in the 1953 election by over 400 votes.
Sutherland is a county in the Highlands of Scotland. Its county town is Dornoch. It borders Caithness to the east, Ross-shire to the south and the Atlantic to the north and west.
In Gaelic the area is referred to according to its traditional areas: Dùthaich MhicAoidh (or Dùthaich 'IcAoidh) in the northeast, Asainte (Assynt) in the west, and Cataibh in the east. Cataibh is also sometimes used to refer to the area as a whole.
The name Sutherland dates from the era of Norwegian Viking rule and settlement over much of the Highlands and Islands, under the rule of the jarl of Orkney. Although it contains some of the northernmost land in the island of Great Britain, it was called Suðrland ("southern land") from the standpoint of Orkney and Caithness.
The northwest corner of Sutherland, traditionally known as the Province of Strathnaver, was not incorporated into Sutherland until 1601. This was the home of the powerful and warlike Clan Mackay, and as such was named in Gaelic, Dùthaich 'Ic Aoidh, the Homeland of Mackay. Even today this part of Sutherland is known as Mackay Country, and, unlike other areas of Scotland where the names traditionally associated with the area have become diluted, there is still a preponderance of Mackays in the Dùthaich.

Sutherland was a constituency of the House of Commons of the Parliament of Great Britain from 1708 to 1801 and of the Parliament of the United Kingdom from 1801 to 1918. It represented essentially the traditional county of Sutherland, electing one Member of Parliament (MP). The county town of Dornoch, however, was represented as a component of the Tain Burghs constituency, from 1708 to 1832, and of the Wick Burghs constituency, from 1832 to 1918.
In 1918 the Sutherland constituency and Dornoch were merged into the then new constituency of Caithness and Sutherland. In 1997 Caithness and Sutherland was merged into Caithness, Sutherland and Easter Ross.
