Lewis Lovering Morgan (March 2, 1876 – June 10, 1950) was an American lawyer and politician from Covington, Louisiana.

He served in the United States House of Representatives from November 5, 1912, to March 4, 1917, from Louisiana's 6th congressional district, which then included part of the New Orleans area. He is best remembered as the candidate of the Earl Kemp Long faction, which lost the pivotal Democratic nomination for governor of Louisiana to Jimmie Davis in the 1944 Louisiana gubernatorial election.

Morgan was born in Mandeville in St. Tammany Parish. He was a descendant of David Bannister Morgan (1773–1848), a pioneer in the settlement of Louisiana and a brigadier general in the Battle of New Orleans in the War of 1812. Morgan attended public schools and St. Eugene's College in St. Tammany Parish. In 1899, he graduated from the Tulane University Law School in New Orleans.

Morgan was admitted to the bar in 1902 and began his law practice in Covington, the seat of St. Tammany Parish. He married the former Lenora Cefalu, and the couple had two children.
