Morita (森田村 Morita-mura?) was a village located in Nishitsugaru District in western Aomori Prefecture, Japan.

Morita Village was located in the central portion of Tsugaru Peninsula. The area was part of Hirosaki Domain during the Edo period. After the Meiji Restoration, Morita Village was created on April 1, 1889. On February 11, 2005 it was merged with the neighboring villages of Shariki, Inagaki and Kashiwa and the town of Kizukuri to form the new town of Tsugaru, and thus no longer exists as an independent municipality.

At the time of its merger, Morita had an estimated population of 5,011 and a density of 207.75 persons per km². The total area was 24.12 km². The village economy was dominated by agriculture. The village was served by Mutsu-Morita Station and Nakata Station on the Gonō Line of JR East.
