Hugh Morrison (8 June 1868 – 15 March 1931) was a British Conservative Party politician.
He was elected as Member of Parliament for Wilton at a by-election in November 1918, holding the seat for a few weeks until it was abolished for the 1918 general election. He was then elected as MP for Salisbury, holding that seat until his narrow defeat at the 1923 general election by the Liberal Party candidate Hugh Moulton. He regained the seat from Moulton in 1924, and was re-elected in 1929, but resigned from the House of Commons shortly before his death in 1931.
