Terence Morgan was an English actor who appeared in theatre, film and television. Born in Lewisham, London, he worked as a clerk at Lloyd's of London before winning a scholarship to the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art.

In 1948 Morgan joined the Old Vic Company and played Laertes opposite Olivier in the film *Hamlet*. He went on to roles in *Captain Horatio Hornblower R.N.* (1951) and *The Curse of the Mummy's Tomb* (1964), often as cads or villains. He is best remembered for the title role in the ITV series *Sir Francis Drake* (1961–62) and appeared in *The Persuaders!* (1971).
