Arthur Morgan is a Sinn Féin TD for Louth and is party spokesperson on the Environment, Local Government and Employment.

Arthur Morgan was born in Omeath in County Louth. Educated locally, he joined the family fish processing company, of which he is currently a director. He is a founding member of Cooley Environmental and Health Action Committee which campaigns against Sellafield nuclear power station.

In the 2002 General Election he was elected to Dáil Éireann as a Sinn Féin TD and retained his seat in the 2007 General Election.
