Dan Morgan is an English science fiction writer and a professional guitarist, mainly active as a writer from the early 1950s through the mid 1970s. In addition to his fiction, he has written two manuals relating to his musical profession.

Morgan is best known for his "Sixth Perception" novels featuring a group of characters possessed of psychic powers; the three "Venturer Twelve" space operas, co-authored with his colleague John Kippax (a fourth was written by Kippax alone); and the somewhat tongue-in-cheek novel The Richest Corpse in Show Business.^[1]
