Henry Douglas "Harry" Morgan (16 September 1889 – 10 December 1956[1]) was an Australian rules footballer who played with South Melbourne and Carlton in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
Morgan played initially at Subiaco in his home state of Western Australia and spent most of his time at either half back or as a centreman. A dual Western Australian interstate representative, Morgan was a member of Subiaco's 1912 and 1913 premiership teams.
When he became a VFL footballer with South Melbourne in 1914, Morgan began playing as a forward was the top goal-kicker at his club twice, on both sides of their war enforced recess in 1916. He had kicked 27 in his debut season and his most impressive tally came in 1915 when he managed 48 goals, to finish third in the league behind Dick Lee and Jimmy Freake. While at South Melbourne he also participated in their 1914 VFL Grand Final loss, from the forward pocket. Despite making eight appearances in 1918, Morgan wasn't selected in that year's premiership team.
Footscray acquired his services for the 1919 VFA season and he was a member of their premiership side that year. The following season he returned to Subiaco for another stint, before making his way back to the VFL and joining Carlton. Morgan had a good start at Carlton, kicking five goals from full-forward in his first game for the club and another five in his third. He then added another state to his resume by playing at South Australian club West Adelaide in 1922, where he made five appearances for 12 goals.
