Henry Randolph Morgan (6 July 1907 - 9 August 1987) was an Irish first-class cricketer.
Morgan was born at Belfast in July 1907, to Richard Morgan and his Cork born wife, Eileen. He was the sixth of eight brothers, alongside three sisters.[1] He was educated in Belfast at the Belfast Royal Academy.[1] He initially played his club cricket for Ulster, however when they folded, he joined North Down in 1932.[1] He made his debut in first-class cricket for Ireland against Scotland at Dublin in 1931.[2] He made three further first-class appearances for Ireland, all coming against Scotland in 1933, 1937 and 1938.[2] A medium-fast bowler with a good off cutter delivery, Morgan took 18 wickets in his four first-class matches, at an average of 10.38.[3] His best innings figures were 7/41 in the 1933 match, with Morgan taking match figures of 10/81.[4] He also scored 54 runs with a highest score of 21.[5] He played club cricket into the 1940s, also playing for North of Ireland, Muckamore, and Eglinton.[1] Outside of cricket, he worked as a manager.[1] He died at Belfast in August 1987.[1]
