Morris O'Brian is a fictional character from the TV series 24. He is portrayed by actor Carlo Rota.

Actor Carlo Rota described Morris as "complex". Originally from the United Kingdom, he is a systems analyst at CTU, and the husband of Chloe O'Brian. While charming, flirtatious, and proficient with CTU's systems, he harbors a past of alcoholism.

As shown in Day 6 (5PM to 6PM), Morris can speak and understand at least some of the Russian language.

Morris is introduced late in Season 5 when Chloe, his ex-wife, calls him in to help her recover a recording that implicates President Logan in the conspiracy behind the Sentox Gas attack. Before this, Morris worked selling women's shoes in Beverly Hills. When Morris arrives at Counter-Terrorist Unit (CTU), Chloe reveals that she actually called him to help her and Jack Bauer cover their actions by interfering with CTU communications. After this, Morris is sent to deliver the necessary equipment to Jack, in order to record a confession on video of Logan admitting his acts. Later, when Chloe is going home after a painful day, including witnessing the death of her friend Edgar Stiles, Bill gives her a picture of herself with Edgar, smiling, and she starts to get emotional. She and Morris go off to talk about it.

Little is revealed about Morris, but everything points to the fact that he and Chloe had problems because of their work and Morris's behavior, with him shown to be gallant with the ladies. When Chloe asks Bill Buchanan to give Morris clearance, Bill is very reluctant to allow him to return to CTU, implying that they have had a run-in in the past. Morris speaks with a southern English accent.

Morris returns to CTU full-time prior to the events of Day 6. He is seen having frequent disagreements with his boss, Milo Pressman, who also recently returned to CTU. Milo worked with Morris before Day 6, as an analyst and co-worker, however Morris states that as a boss, Milo is "a bit of a bore".
