Charles Antony Morris (9 May 1939 – 17 November 1990) was an English first-class cricketer.

Morris was born in May 1939 at Cambridge. He was educated at Marlborough College, before going up to King's College, Cambridge.[1] While studying at Cambridge, he made four appearances in first-class cricket for Cambridge University in 1960, appearing against Yorkshire, Hampshire, the touring South Africans and Sussex.[2] Across his four matches, Morris scored 23 runs and bowled twelve wicketless overs with his leg break googly bowling.[3][4] In addition to playing first-class cricket, he also played minor counties cricket for Cambridgeshire from 1956–63, making thirty appearances in the Minor Counties Championship.[5] He died in November 1990 at Wilmslow, Cheshire.
