John Wilby Morley (30 July 1838 – 24 April 1864) was an English first-class cricketer.
The son of The Reverend William Morley, he was born in July 1838 at Raithby, Lincolnshire. He was educated at Marlborough College,[1] before going up to Brasenose College, Oxford.[2] While studying at Oxford, he made four appearances in first-class cricket for Oxford University in 1859–60,[3] scoring a total of 47 runs with a high score of 19.[4] Shortly after graduating from Oxford, Morley emigrated to Australia, where he died along the Mackenzie River in Queensland in April 1864.[1]
