Judith Ann "Judy" Morris (born December 13, 1947 in Queensland, Australia) is an Australian actress, as well as a film director and screenwriter, well known for the variety of roles she played in 54 different television shows and films, but most recently for co-writing a musical epic about the life of penguins in Antarctica which became Happy Feet, Australia's largest animated film project to date.

Morris’s first role came at the age of 10 when she was part of the cast of the television episode "Picture of the Magi" a Family Theatre production which aired about 1957 on the Mutual Broadcasting System in the United States. She then performed in two other roles in the USA, at the age of 10 on the The Loretta Young Show, and in 1960, at the age of 13, on The Chevy Mystery Show hosted on that occasion by Vincent Price.

Returning to Australia, Morris's next role was not to come until she reached the age of 20 when, in 1967, she worked in the television series, Bellbird. Impressing casting agents, she was cast in numerous well known television series, including (see drop-down filmography list for further details) seven episodes in Division 4, four episodes in Matlock Police and three episodes in the Homicide series.

During this time she also moved to more provocative (for its time) television, especially in the sex series of Alvin Purple, and then under the direction of Tim Burstall as Sybil the babysitter in Libido: The Child (one of four parts of a portmanteau film that showed various aspects of human sexuality). In this part Morris awakens the sexuality of the boy that she is babysitting. For her part, Morris won the 1973 Australian Film Industry (AFI) Best Actress in a Lead Role.
