Lewis Morris (1701 – 1765) was a Welsh poet and lexicographer, the eldest of the Morris brothers of Anglesey.

He was a surveyor by profession; he worked for the Navy Office and later as a Crown official responsible for the collection of tolls. His bardic name was Llewelyn Ddu o Fôn ("Black Llewelyn [Lewis] of Anglesey"). The correspondence between him and his younger brothers is a valuable historical source. In 1751, he founded the Honorable Society of Cymmrodorion along with his brother Richard.
