John Morgan (21 October 1892 – 4 December 1940)[1] was a British Labour Party politician.

Morgan stood unsuccessfully as a Labour candidate in a series of Parliamentary elections in the 1930s, losing at Leicester West in 1935 by only 87 votes.[2] He was elected as Member of Parliament (MP) for Doncaster in the West Riding of Yorkshire at a by-election in November 1938, following the death of the Labour MP Alfred Short.[3] However, he was in the House of Commons for barely two years when he died in December 1940, aged 48.[1]
