In theoretical physics, a matrix model is a system (usually a quantum mechanical system) with matrix-valued physical quantities.

The "old" matrix models are relevant for string theory in two spacetime dimensions. The "new" matrix model is a synonym for Matrix theory.

Matrix population models are used to model wildlife and human population dynamics.
