Dave Morrison (born 30 November 1974) is an English former professional footballer.

Morrison started his professional football career with Chelmsford City, before being sold to Peterborough United in May 1994 for a fee of £50,000.[1] During his time with The Posh, Morrison made 77 appearances and scored 12 goals. He was also sent out to Rushden & Diamonds on loan in October 1996.
