Charles Morgan "of Dderw" (1736 – 24 May 1787) was a Welsh politician who sat in the House of Commons between 1763 and 1787.

In 1763, Morgan was returned as Member of Parliament for Brecon, succeeding his elder brother Thomas. He was Bailiff of Brecon in 1768, and a lieutenant in the Foot Guards 1769. That year he accepted the Stewardship of the Manner of East Hendred to succeed his late father in a by-election at Breconshire, which he represented until his death.

In 1771, he inherited the Tredegar estate from his elder brother, Thomas Morgan, and succeeded him as Lord Lieutenant of Brecknockshire.{{cite book | first=William Retlaw | last=Williams | title=The Parliamentary History of Wales | year=1895 | page=19 | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=rbYlAAAAMAAJ | accessdate=2007-10-17}} The castle on Morgan's estate at Rhiwpera burned down in 1783, and rebuilding was not completed until after his death.
