Kevin Andrew Morgan (born 23 February 1977 in Pontypridd) is a Welsh rugby union player who plays for Newport Gwent Dragons and has won 34 caps for Wales, mainly at full-back but also as a winger.

Morgan (height 5'10", weight 13st 4lb) initially played club rugby for his home town club, Pontypridd, then joined Swansea in 1998. He joined the Celtic Warriors when regional sides were formed in 2003, then when the Warriors were wound up signed for Newport Gwent Dragons in 2004. He was the Celtic League's top try scorer in the 2004-05 season.

He made his debut for Wales in a match against the USA in Wilmington in 1997. His career has been affected by a series of injuries, including a broken foot and a knee ligament injury. The broken foot meant that he missed the entire 2004 Six Nations Championship. In the 2005 Six Nations he was a substitute against England and Italy, coming on as a replacement for Hal Luscombe in both matches, but then regained a starting position for the remaining matches. He scored two tries in the match against Scotland and a crucial try in the win against Ireland which clinched the Grand Slam.
