George Bentham Morris (1839 – 16 April 1903) was a 19th-century Member of Parliament from the Gisborne and Bay of Plenty regions of New Zealand.

[1] He joined the marines after leaving school, and eventually arrived in New Zealand in 1870, settling in Auckland.

Four candidates were nominated: Morris; William Kelly, who had also previously represented the East Coast electorate; George Vesey Stewart, then the owner of the Bay of Plenty Times; and Henry Thomas Rowe, a surveyor and commission agent.

[8] Stewart stood for the Tauranga mayoralty a few months later and was elected the town's first mayor.

[10] He died at his home in Onehunga on 16 April 1903, aged 63, as a result of tripping and sustaining a blow to his temple.
