Henry Brown Morell (15 October 1858 – 21 March 1934) was an Irish international rugby union player.
Born in Dungannon, Morell was the son of local Presbyterian minister Charles Lucas Morell, who was a one–time moderator of the General Assembly.[1]
Morell, known in rugby circles as "Barney", was capped four times for Ireland, which included their first ever Test match win, over Scotland in 1881. He played his club rugby for Dublin University.[2]
A police officer, Morell served as an Inspector with the Royal Irish Constabulary and had charge of the Musgrave Street barracks in Belfast. He was later County Inspector for Wicklow.[3]
