Morisset (/mɔːrɪˈsɛt/ mo-ree-Set;) is a commercial centre and suburb of the City of Lake Macquarie local government area in the Hunter region in New South Wales, Australia.

[2] The town is named for Major James Thomas Morisset, who camped there in 1823 while making the overland journey from Sydney to Newcastle.

[6] The earliest settlement in the area was at Cooranbong in 1826, about 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) west of the current town and near the foot of the Watagan Mountains.

Most of the transport to the area at the time was by river boat on Dora Creek meaning that Cooranbong was the most accessible part of town.

The train station serves as a terminus for bus services 278 and 279 covering the Morisset Peninsula towns and 280 to Cooranbong.

These services are operated by Hunter Valley Buses, which acquired the previous provider Toronto Bus.

Morisset is the gateway to the secluded network of trails and paths that connect the Lake Macquarie region.
