Henrietta Morgan or Henrietta Maria Morgan was a British stage actress of the eighteenth century. She was billed as Mrs Morgan.[1]

She was married to the actor Robert Morgan, appearing alongside him at Lincoln's Inn Fields Theatre where they were part of John Rich's company. She also appeared at summer venues such as Richmond Theatre and Bartholomew Fair.[2] During the early 1730s the couple acted at the Goodman's Fields Theatre in Whitechapel where Henry Giffard was attempting to challenge the traditional patent theatres.
