Digby Morrell (born 10 October 1979) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with the Kangaroos and Carlton in the Australian Football League (AFL).

From Western Australia, Morrell played his early senior football for West Perth. His 44-game senior career for the Falcons spanned 1998–2000, and he was the club's leading goalkicker in 2000.[1] At the age of 21, Morrell was recruited to the Australian Football League by the Kangaroos Football Club with its third round selection in the 2001 AFL Rookie Draft.[2] As a forward he twice kicked five goals during his time with the Kangaroos. The first was in a losing cause against Sydney in 2002 and the other the following season in a drawn game against Brisbane.

After the 2003 season, Morrell was traded, along with David Teague, to the Carlton Football Club in exchange for Corey McKernan. He played 32 games for the Blues before being delisted at the end of 2005. He continued to play Victorian Football League (VFL) football with the Northern Bullants, Carlton's VFL-affiliate in 2006, and acted as playing assistant coach in 2007. In 2008, he shifted to the Box Hill Hawks, before retiring from playing at the end of the season. Since 2009, Morrell has been the senior coach of the Strathmore Football Club in the Essendon District Football League.

He currently teaches physical education at Parade College in Melbourne.
