Carl Matthew Dickinson (born 31 March 1987 in Derbyshire, England) is an English footballer who currently plays for Stoke City. He is a left back.

Dickinson is a former Derby County academy player, who signed for Stoke City's academy in 2002. He made his full first-team start against Sheffield United on April 1, 2004 at the Britannia Stadium. His performance earned him a Man of the Match nomination. Two days later, on 3 April, he signed a professional contract with the club. Dickinson was then sent on loan to Icelandic club Víkingur until pre-season 2006-07, along with teammate Keith Thomas.

On 20 October 2006, Dickinson joined Blackpool on a month's loan. On 9 November, it was announced that he would be staying with Blackpool for another month. This was extended to a third month on two weeks later^[1]. After returning to Stoke, Dickinson put in a series of impressive performances at left-back. His commitment and ability led to him becoming a firm favourite with the club's supporters but very unpopular with rival teams' fans.

On 15 January 2009, Dickinson joined League One outfit, Leeds United, on a one month loan^[2]. He made his first appearance for the club two days later against Brighton where Leeds won 2-0.
