Morda is a village on the outskirts of the town of Oswestry, Shropshire, England, located near the border of England and Wales.
It is named after the River Morda, which, with the River Tanat, is one of the first major tributaries joining the River Severn as it wends its way from its birth place on Plynlimon, mid-Wales, to the Bristol Channel.
Morda is also home to the Shropshire County Premier Football League football team Morda United FC who play their home games at the Weston Road Ground.
