Harry Morris, 1st Baron Morris of Kenwood (7 October 1893 – 1 July 1954) was a British Labour Party politician.

Member of Parliament He was elected at the 1945 general election as Member of Parliament (MP) for Sheffield Central, defeating the Conservative incumbent William Boulton. His constituency was abolished for the 1950 general election, when he was returned for the new Sheffield Neepsend constituency.
