William Morris was a soccer player who played as a wing half. Born in Scotland, he earned one cap for the United States national team.

In 1922, he signed with Kilmarnock of the Scottish Football League, though he played only two games before moving to Beith.[1] In 1924, Morris moved to the United States where he signed with the Brooklyn Wanderers of the American Soccer League.
