Morris Simmonds (14 January 1855, St. Thomas - 4 September 1925, Hamburg) was a German physician, pathologist, from a family originating in Hanau but born on the then Danish St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands in Caribbean Sea. He was the first to describe the clinical and pathological features of hypopituitarism in 1914; the disease has occasionally been called "Simmonds' disease" in his honour.
