Sir Owen Temple-Morris, QC (15 September 1896 – 21 April 1985) was a British barrister and Conservative politician, who sat for Cardiff East from 1931 until being appointed a County Court judge in 1942.

The son of Dr Frederick Temple-Morris, a physician and surgeon,[1] and his wife Florence (daughter of Col Charles Lanyon Owen, C.B., of Portsmouth), Owen Temple-Morris was born at Cardiff. He was admitted as a solicitor in 1919, and was called to the Bar from Gray's Inn in 1925. Temple-Morris was appointed KC in 1937, and later served as chairman of the County Court Rule Committee.[2][3]

In 1927, he married Vera, daughter of David Hamilton Thompson, of Cardiff.[4][5] Their son, Peter Temple-Morris, was also a Conservative Member of Parliament (MP), but left the party and later joined Labour Party.
