Hamilton Knox Grogan Morgan (1807 – 9 June 1854), known as Hamilton Knox Grogan until 1828,[1] was an Irish Whig, Repeal Association and Conservative politician.[2]

He married Sophia Maria Rowe, daughter of Ebenezer Radford Rowe, with whom he had three children: Elizabeth, Sophia and Jane Colclough Morgan (died 1872).[3]

After unsuccessfully contesting the seat as a Conservative in 1841,[4] Morgan was elected Repeal Association MP for County Wexford at the 1847 general election. He held the seat until 1852 when he sought election as a Whig but was defeated.[5][6][2][3]

He was a member of the Reform Club.[2] Hamilton and Sophia were largely responsible for construction of Johnstown Castle, County Wexford.
