|website={{URL|http://www.benmorton.net.au/}}|constituency=Tangney}}Ben Morton (born 29 June 1981) is an Australian politician. Since 2 July 2016, he has represented the federal Division of Tangney in the Australian House of Representatives for the Liberal Party.[1]

He is the former state director of the Liberal Party in Western Australia. Prior to entering parliament, Morton worked as a bus driver, as an adviser to the Howard Government, and in the private sector for one of Australia's largest home builders, BGC.[1]

He grew up in New South Wales, and after completing a Bachelor of Arts at the Australian National University,[1] returned to his home town and unsuccessfully stood for election as the Liberal Party candidate in the safe Labor seat of Wyong in 2003 and 2007.[2]

At the 2016 federal election, Morton successfully ran as the Liberal candidate against sitting member Dennis Jensen, who had been disendorsed by the Liberals and was running as an independent.[3]
