During the 22nd over on the first day of the initial Sri Lanka-New Zealand Test in Galle, Mathews was struck on his right index finger by a delivery from William O'Rourke that moved back in.
The physio was called immediately, but Mathews continued to bat for another over before deciding to retire hurt.
The experienced all-rounder came to bat when Sri Lanka was struggling after losing their openers, Dimuth Karunaratne and Pathum Nissanka, early.
Mathews faced 55 deliveries and scored 12 not out before retiring hurt.
Earlier, Sri Lanka won the toss and chose to bat first.
The hosts ended the session at 88/2 before lunch, with Dinesh Chandimal trying to rebuild the innings with his unbeaten 30, while O'Rourke, playing in his third Test, took two wickets.
