Thomas Morgan (born March 30 1977) is an Irish football player who currently plays for Kildare County in the FAI League of Ireland First Division.

Thomas Morgan came to prominence during the 1997 FIFA World Youth Championships where he captained the Irish team which won the bronze medal. During those championships he lined up alongside the like of Damien Duff to face players like Juan Román Riquelme and Cambiasso of Argentina.
