George Franklin Morris (April 13, 1866 - 1953) is a former United States federal judge.

Born in Vershire, Vermont, Morris read law to enter the bar in 1891. He was in private practice in Lisbon, New Hampshire from 1891 to 1906, and in Lancaster, New Hampshire from 1906 to 1921.

On October 20, 1921, Morris was nominated by President Warren G. Harding to a seat on the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire vacated by Edgar A. Aldrich. Morris was confirmed by the United States Senate on October 25, 1921, and received his commission the same day. He assumed senior status on April 30, 1943, serving in that capacity until his death, in 1953.
