Morgan Jones is a fictional character from the comic book series The Walking Dead and is portrayed by Lennie James in the first episode of the first season of American television series of the same name. In both the comics and television series, he is a devoted father struggling to get over the recent death of his wife. He and his son seek refuge in Rick's hometown King County after the outbreak occurs.

Morgan's son Duane spots Rick wandering around their house and, mistaking him for a walker, knocks him out with a shovel. Morgan quickly comes to the realization that Rick is a living human and aids him back to health. He details Rick of the outbreak and what has been happening within the world the past couple months. Rick later supplies him and his son with guns from the Sheriff's station to ensure their protection, and departs from them to Atlanta.

Morgan and Duane are later shown still remaining within their house several months afterward, during the winter. In an attempt to preserve old tradition and celebrate Christmas with Duane to lift his spirits, Morgan is able to find a Gameboy from a nearby store and give it to him as a present.

Sometime within the following weeks/months, Duane falls prey to the walkers and gets turned. Morgan, unable to cope with the death of his son, resorts to locking Duane in the house with chains . As his mental health deteriorates, he begins murdering survivors who stumble by so he can feed the boy. Rick, along with his son Carl and new second-in-command Abraham, arrive back to the town with the plan to bring Morgan into the group, which he gives in to. He quickly develops an intense fixation on Carl, who reminds him of Duane . Whilst in the group, he becomes one of the primary defenders of their campsite, and deepens his bond with Michonne, the two of them both connecting due to their damaged psyches and history of loss . At the same time, he attempts to deepen his bond with Carl after witnessing first-hand the boy's cold-blooded mentality . He believes himself to be responsible for maintaining Carl's childhood innocence and is determined to make amends for where he failed with protection of Duane.
