Trevor Morley (born 20 March 1961 in Nottingham) is an English former professional footballer who played as a striker.

Morley played for Northampton Town, having previously seen non-league football with Corby Town^{[citation needed]} and Nuneaton Borough. He joined Manchester City in January 1988 as part of an exchange deal that saw Tony Adcock move to the County Ground.

At the end of 1989, Morley joined London club West Ham United from City in a deal that saw Ian Bishop also move to Upton Park, and Mark Ward travel in the other direction.

Morley made his debut, along with Bishop, against Leicester City on 30 December 1989. He went on to score 50 goals in 215 league and cup appearances for the Upton Park club, and was their top scorer for the 1990-91, 1992-93 and 1993-94 seasons. He was voted Hammer of the Year in 1994. It was while he was at West Ham that he was stabbed in what the Police later described as a 'Domestic incident'.

Morley played for Reading between 1995 and 1998, then moved to Brann in Norway, where he spent three seasons. He also played for Sogndal in 1998. He later had a spell scouting for Arsenal in Norway and, in 2000, took on the manager's role at Bergen Sparta of the Norwegian Fifth Division. Morley has a daughter named Marija Morley with his wife Hege Morley.
