John Edward Morris (born 1 April 1964)[1] is an English former cricketer, who played for England in three Test matches and eight One Day Internationals in 1990 and 1991.

The cricket writer, Colin Bateman, commented that Morris was, "a talented and potentially destructive middle-order batsman".

However, during the same up-country tour game at Carrara, Morris chose to join former Test captain David Gower in a practical joke that backfired, each man hiring a Tiger Moth Biplane to fly over the ground as play continued below.

Morris was a stocky, right-handed middle-order batsman and made 21,539 runs in 362 first-class matches, including 52 centuries at an average of 37.72.
