Not to be confused with Morgans ministry or Morgan government.

The Morgan Ministry was the 22nd ministry of the Government of Queensland and was led by Premier Arthur Morgan, who led a Liberal–Labour coalition.

It succeeded the First Philp Ministry on 17 September 1903 after Robert Philp's resignation following the defection of several Ministerialists on a key vote. Labour leader William Browne failed to form a ministry, and advised the Governor to send for the Speaker, Arthur Morgan. Morgan, who became leader of the Liberal faction in the Assembly, formed a coalition ministry containing two Labour members, Browne and William Kidston. Browne died on 12 April 1904 and was replaced in the Ministry by another Labour member, Peter Airey.

The Ministry was succeeded by the First Kidston ministry on 19 January 1906 after Morgan was appointed President of the Queensland Legislative Council.

On 17 September 1903, the Governor, Herbert Chermside, designated eight principal executive offices of the Government, and appointed the following Members of the Parliament of Queensland to the Ministry as follows.
