Niall Morgan (born 17 July 1991) is an Irish Gaelic footballer who plays for the Edendork St Malachy's club and the Tyrone county team.

A knee injury in 2013 ruled him out for the rest of the season. This was considered a severe blow to Tyrone's hopes of winning the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship.

The COVID-19 outbreak in the Tyrone football squad twice delayed the 2021 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship semi-final against Kerry. Morgan later disclosed that he was one of the players who had contracted the virus, though he mistook his symptoms for hayfever.

He has also played association football for Dungannon Swifts, and represented Northern Ireland Under-18 schoolboys.

Two of Tyrone's Sam Maguire heroes have spoken publicly about the Covid-19 crisis that ripped through their squad earlier this summer and threatened their participation in the All-Ireland series. Niall Morgan and Conor Meyler disclosed how joint-managers Feargal Logan and Brian Dooher told the group of plans to withdraw from their rescheduled semi-final against Kerry because of the health implications… Both the netminder and Tyrone's play-anywhere No 10 were among those to test positive for the virus… Even though he was 'double-jabbed', Meyler was among those to contract Covid after the virus got into his own family home. 'I had no symptoms, and I wouldn't have known only I was made go for a PCR test', the Omagh clubman explained… Morgan also tested positive, having initially thought he was merely suffering from hay fever.
