Alfred James Morley (1861^[1] – September 16, 1958^[2]) was a civil engineer, businessman and politician in British Columbia, Canada. He was mayor of Victoria from 1905 to 1907, from 1909 to 1911 and in 1913.^[1]

Born in England, Morley came to California and later settled in Victoria. He married Mary Goodall. Morley owned the Victoria Coffee & Spice Mills until 1909.^[1]

Morley was elected in part due to a rising demand for moral reform in Victoria. After he was elected, Morley and the police chief struck an unofficial deal with Stella Carroll, a popular "madam" in the city. If she would move her brothel out of downtown and into what was considered the town's "red-light district", she would be left alone. However, public pressure forced the mayor to renege on this deal.^[2]

He died in Victoria at the age of 96.^[3]
