Norman Henry Morgan (born 26 March 1935) is a Welsh former international rugby union player.
Raised in Llanhilleth, Morgan was a left-footed fullback and played his early rugby with the British Army during national service, before joining Newport in 1955. He played over 200 games for Newport, scoring 951 points.
Morgan won three Wales caps in the 1960 Five Nations Championship, debuting against Scotland at home. He was the match-winner in his next appearance, against Ireland at Lansdowne Road, with a successful sideline conversion after captain Onllwyn Brace scored a try nine-minutes from the end, giving them a 10–9 victory.
