Geoff Morris is a former Australian rules footballer who played 220 games for West Adelaide in the SANFL during the 1970s and 1980s.

Morris spent most of his time either on the wing or as a half forward flanker. He played the game aggressively and was always hard on the ball. As a result he was particularly injury prone and over the course of his career suffered many injuries including broken legs, a broken jaw and broken wrist. In 1983 he was a member of West's premiership side which defeated Sturt in the Grand Final.

He took part in the 1979 State of Origin Carnival, the first ever, and was selected to the All-Australian team.

Early in 1985, prior to the beginning of the season, Morris was involved in a motor boat accident which left him with serious burns. He made a handful of appearance off the bench that year and in 1986 but never fully recovered enough to resurect his SANFL career. After leaving West Adelaide, Morris played briefly in the Northern Territory with the Wanderers Football Club. He served as West Adelaide's non playing coach in 1994 and 1995.
