Tori Morgan is a fictional character from the Australian television soap opera Home and Away, played by Penny McNamee. The actress had wanted to appear in the serial since the start of her acting career and described the part as her "dream job". During the audition process, McNamee was paired with various male actors to find the right combination for the Morgan siblings. A month later, she learned that she had won the role of Tori and began filming in November 2015. She made her first appearance during the episode broadcast on 5 May 2016.
The character was introduced to the show along with her three brothers; Brody Morgan (Jackson Heywood), Justin Morgan (James Stewart) and Mason Morgan (Orpheus Pledger). Tori is portrayed as a caring, intelligent, understanding, successful doctor. She is very protective of her brothers and comes to Summer Bay ahead of them to see if it is safe to live there. She is caught up in an explosion at the local caravan park and helps treat several characters. The Morgans initially concealed the fact that they were in witness protection. The storyline saw the siblings targeted by their parents' killers, leading Tori to be held hostage, threatened, and involved in a plane crash.
Later storylines have revolved around Tori's romantic relationships with Nate Cooper (Kyle Pryor), Duncan Stewart (Benedict Wall), and Martin "Ash" Ashford (George Mason). In 2018, a new storyline arc began with Tori deciding to become a mother and saw her undergoing fertility treatment in order to have a child. McNamee confirmed her departure from Home and Away in September 2021 and her final scenes aired that same month, as Tori leaves the Bay with her husband Christian Green (Ditch Davey). She made a brief return in April 2024 for Justin's wedding. For her portrayal of Tori, McNamee has received nominations for the Logie Award for Best New Talent and the Inside Soap Award for Best Daytime Star. Readers of TV Week voted the character as their favourite Morgan out of her and Justin.
