Levi Morgan (26 June 1766) was a person in the western parts of what was then Virginia.

Morgan was born on 26 June 1766 in Morgantown, Province of Virginia, British America. His grandfather was Colonel Morgan Morgan, a Welshman who was the first Euro-American settler in the hills of western Virginia, and his father was Colonel Zackquill Morgan. The Morgans were merchants and wealthy landowners. Levi grew up around the Lenape people and spoke their language, but took part in many wars with the native people on the side of the Euro-American settlers including one in Marion County, Virginia. Levi was found frozen to death in Kentucky in 1825. A statue to him stands in the mid Ohio valley town of New Martinsville, Wetzel County, West Virginia.
