Timothy Matlack (May 28, 1736 – April 14, 1829) was a brewer and beer bottler who emerged as a popular revolutionary leader and powerful official in the American Revolutionary War. Secretary of Pennsylvania during the war, and a delegate to the Second Continental Congress in 1780, he became one of Pennsylvania's most provocative and influential political figures.
