Niall Morgan (born 17 July 1991) is an Irish Gaelic footballer who plays for the Edendork St Malachy's club and the Tyrone county team.
A knee injury in 2013 ruled him out for the rest of the season. This was considered a severe blow to Tyrone's hopes of winning the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship.
The COVID-19 outbreak in the Tyrone football squad twice delayed the 2021 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship semi-final against Kerry. Morgan later disclosed that he was one of the players who had contracted the virus, though he mistook his symptoms for hayfever.
Morgan has won two All-Star Awards, in 2021 and 2024.
He has also played association football for Dungannon Swifts, and represented Northern Ireland Under-18 schoolboys.
