Runako Shakur Morton (born July 22, 1978 in Nevis) is a West Indian cricketer. He is a right-handed batsman and a right-handed offbreak bowler.
Having been expelled from the West Indian cricketing Academy in July 2001, he continued to play for the Leeward Islands in the Busta Cup. Upon his return in February 2002, he was called into the West Indian squad as a replacement for Marlon Samuels, but he was alienated once again when he lied about his non-appearance in the ICC Champions Trophy in September 2002.
Following a stabbing incident in January 2004, he was arrested, but was called once again for a third chance at cricketing glory in May 2005 for the South African Test.
