John Daniel Morell (18 June 1816 – 1 April 1891) was a British educationalist and Congregational minister.
Subsequently he studied philosophy and theology under Fichte at Bonn, and returned to England to undertake the pastorate of the Congregational church at Gosport in 1842.
In 1848 he made his name by his Historical and Critical View of the Speculative Philosophy of Europe in the Nineteenth Century.
Morell's Historical and Critical View of the Speculative Philosophy of Europe in the Nineteenth Century was his major work.
He showed a partiality for the "eclectic philosophy" of Victor Cousin, and pointed out the Scottish Enlightenment as a precursor.
