Matt said: "To carry the Torch is an honour, one I thought I'd never get. I'm very excited!"
Ardent fans of the hit sci-fi show will know that it's not the first Doctor Who-related Olympics hook-up. David Tennant carried the London 2012 Olympic Torch in an episode called Fear Her in 2006.
The traditional lighting ceremony took place in Olympia, Greece on 10 May, 2012 and the Torch arrived in Britain nine days later. The UK leg of its journey began in Land’s End and it will blaze into Wales later today.
Karen Gillan, who played the Time Lord's sidekick Amy Pond, left the show this year.
Jenna-Louise Coleman is set to join the cast at Christmas.
Doctor Who returns to screens this Autumn on BBC One.
Matt's part of the relay begins at approximately 6.20am on Saturday 26 May at the Norwegian Church Arts Centre, Harbour Drive, Cardiff Bay.
