William Mitchell Morgan (August 1, 1870 – September 17, 1935) was a U.S. Representative from Ohio.

Born in Brownsville, Ohio, Morgan attended the public schools. He pursued various occupations until 1898, when he moved to Newark, Ohio. He was employed as a laborer and later as a musician. He studied literature and science. He engaged in agriculture, merchandising, and the wool-buying business. He was active in organized labor movements, serving as president of the Newark (Ohio) Musicians' Union.

Morgan was elected as a Republican to the Sixty-seventh and to the four succeeding Congresses (March 4, 1921 – March 3, 1931). He was an unsuccessful candidate for reelection in 1930 to the Seventy-second Congress and for election in 1932 to the Seventy-third Congress. He resumed his former business pursuits. He served as president of the Ohio State Federation of Labor in 1935, resigning the same year to become a member of the state industrial commission, in which he served until his death in Columbus, Ohio, on September 17, 1935. He was interred in Cedar Hill Cemetery, Newark, Ohio.
