Daniel Kyle Morrison (born 3 February 1966 in Auckland) was a former New Zealand cricketer (Black Caps). He specialised as a pace bowler with a useful outswinger. Morrisson's most notable "accomplishment" as a batsman is that he once held the world record for Test ducks (24), however, he contributed 14 in a 106-run partnership with Nathan Astle for the tenth wicket against England. That was his last Test match.

His most notable bowling accomplishment occurred on 25 March 1994, when he took a hat-trick in a One-day International (ODI) against India. He is the only New Zealander to take a hat-trick in an ODI, and one of just twenty worldwide to have taken an ODI hat-trick.
