Garrick Morgan (born 25 January 1970), is an Australian former rugby footballer, who played rugby union for the Australian team from 1992 to 1997.
In 1993, he was voted the world's best player by the newspaper l'Équipe.
In 2006, he became coach of the Gold Coast Breakers.
In 1995 Morgan signed a three-year, $600,000 contract to play rugby league for the South Queensland Crushers. His father, John "Pogo" Morgan had played for Sydney club Manly-Warringah from 1963-1970 and had also represented New South Wales on five occasions in interstate matches against Queensland.
Morgan made just two appearances for the Crushers before signing for the Queensland Reds at the end of the season and returning to rugby union.
