John Joseph Morris (12 June 1936 – 8 February 2013) was an Australian trade unionist and politician. He was a long-serving official of unions associated with the liquor industry in New South Wales, including the Federated Liquor and Allied Industries Employees' Union and Liquor Hospitality and Miscellaneous Workers' Union, holding various positions at state and federal level from the 1970s to the 2000s. He also represented the Australian Labor Party (ALP) in the New South Wales Legislative Council (1976–1984) and as a Senator for New South Wales (1985–1990). He retired from the Senate before the 1990 federal election following controversies over his attendance record, lifestyle and alleged union misconduct.
