Delroy Simeon Morgan (born 4 March 1967) is a former Jamaican cricketer. He played in 62 first-class and 39 List A matches for the Jamaican cricket team from 1986 to 1998.[1]

Primarily a opening batsman, Morgan had his best season in 1988–89, when he was the highest scorer in the Red Stripe Cup, with 435 runs at an average of 54.37.[2] That season he hit his two highest first-class scores: 122 against Guyana[3] and, a week later, 111 against Leeward Islands.[4] Jamaica won both matches by an innings and went on to win the tournament.[5]

Morgan played as the professional for Lowerhouse in the Lancashire League in 1990.[6] His highest score in List A cricket was 133 not out, when he batted throughout the innings against Canada in the Shell/Sandals Trophy in 1996–97.[7]

Morgan captained Jamaica several times in the 1990s, and was later a member of the national selection panel.[8]
