Mattins, often spelled in the Anglican tradition with a double "t", is the Morning Prayer which consolidated the hours of Matins, Lauds and Prime.

Lutherans preserve recognizably traditional Matins distinct from Morning Prayer, but "Matins" is sometimes used in other Protestant denominations to describe any morning service.
