George Edward "Ted" Morrison (October 11, 1894 – February 15, 1961) was an American college football player and coach. He served as the head football coach at Howard University in Washington, D.C. from 1920 to 1922 and again in 1924, and Lincoln University in Pennsylvania compiling a career college football record of 21–14–5. His 1920 Howard Bison football team won the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA) title and was recognized as a black college football national champion.

George Edward Morrison or Ted as family and friends called him, was born in Chelsea Massachusetts to George and Minnie Morrison. He was an only child.

Morrison played baseball and football at Everett High School. He then enrolled at Tufts University in 1915.

^[1] As a player for Tufts University during the 1916 season, he was the target of significant racial discrimination. During a game against Princeton, he sustained injuries as the result of dirty play at that hands of Princeton players.

Later that season, the team had a game at Indiana University. The team's hotel initially denied Morrison and another black teammate a room. In response, Tufts coach Charles Whelan protested and said that if the black players weren't accommodated, he would take his team back to Massachusetts without playing. The hotel quickly acquiesced, and Tufts won the game, 12–10.^[2]

From 1918 to 1920, Morrison studied dentistry at Howard University in Washington, D.C.^[1] He served as the head football coach at Howard from 1920 to 1922 and again in 1924, winning a black college football national championship in 1920.^[3]
