Sir Matthew Ingle Joyce (17 July 1839 – 10 March 1930) was a British judge. He was a Justice of the Chancery Division of the High Court between 1900 and 1915.

Born in Breedon on the Hill, Leicestershire, he was educated at Ashby-de-la-Zouch Grammar School and Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge, where he graduated eighth wranger in 1862. The same year he was elected to a fellowship at Caius, which he held until 1875.[1]

He was called to the bar by Lincoln's Inn in 1865. At the bar his pupils included the future Lord Parker of Waddington and Lord Russell of Killowen.[1]

He was junior equity counsel to the Treasury from 1886 to 1900, when he was appointed a Justice of the High Court, assigned to the Chancery Division, and received the customary knighthood. He retired in 1915, and was sworn of the Privy Council.

Joyce married Miriam Bertha Jackson, daughter of Sir William Jackson, 1st Baronet, in 1891; they had one daughter.[1]

gollark: People are fine at a few "physics" things they encounter frequently and *have* to know, but don't know general mechanisms and are bad at modelling other situations.

gollark: This actually works even for people who have studied physics a bit who get a question without convenient numbers; they fall back to Aristotlean mechanics a lot of the time.

gollark: People doing physics intuitively are *really bad* at it.

gollark: I don't agree.
