Billy Morris was a Scottish-U.S. soccer wing half who earned one cap with the U.S. national team.

He played only two games before moving to Beith F.C. In 1924, Morris moved to the United States where he signed with the Brooklyn Wanderers of the American Soccer League. In 1929, he began the season with Bridgeport Bears, but the Bears were sold a few games into the season and moved to Philadelphia. When that happened, Morris transferred to the New York Americans.[1]
