Charles Albert Aaron Morgan (27 January 1897 - 27 November 1967) was an Australian politician. Born in Woonana, New South Wales, he was educated at Catholic schools and then at Sydney Technical College. He became a solicitor in 1920 and eventually a Labor lawyer. In 1940, he was elected as the Labor candidate for the Australian House of Representatives seat of Reid, held by Lang Labor MP Joseph Gander. Morgan defeated Gander and held the seat until his defeat by Jack Lang himself in 1946; Morgan's defeat was largely because the Liberal Party directed its preferences to Lang. In 1949, however, Lang contested the new seat of Blaxland instead of Reid, and Morgan regained the seat. He held it until 1958, when he lost his Labor preselection to Tom Uren and unsuccessfully contested the seat as an independent. Morgan died in 1967.
