Carl Matthew Dickinson (born 31 March 1987) is an English former professional footballer who now manages Northern Premier League Division One West club Chasetown. A defender, Dickinson started his career at Stoke City and had loan spells at Icelandic club Víkingur and Blackpool before helping the "Potters" to win promotion into the Premier League in 2007–08.

He was sold to Watford for a £250,000 fee in July 2011 and was a first-team regular in the 2011–12 campaign. However, he fell out of favour the following season. He was loaned out to Portsmouth and Coventry City before being allowed to join Port Vale on a free transfer in July 2013. He spent three years with Port Vale and also served as club captain before he moved on to Notts County for two years in June 2016. He joined Yeovil Town in June 2018 and made 104 league and cup appearances over three years. He was appointed as player-manager at Hanley Town.
