    Major Sir Desmond Morton (13 November 1891 – 31 July 1971) was a Bitish military officer and government official. Morton played an important role in organizing a response to appeasement of Germany during the period prior to World War II by providing intelligence information about German re-armament to Winston Churchill. At this time Churchill did not have any position in the government. In 1940 Morton was Churchill's personal assistant when he became prime minister.

Morton joined the Royal Artillery in 1911. He saw action in World War I, and was shot in the heart at the in 1917. However, he survived and recovered, serving again with the bullet still inside. He served as aide de camp to Sir Douglas Haig,  commander of the British Expeditionary Force 1917 - 1918.

From 1930 to 1939 he was also a member of the CID sub-committee on Economic Warfare. From 1929, as he "found himself idle much of the time" he assisted Winston Churchill who was writing his history of the Great War.

In 1939, he became the Principal Assistant Secretary at the of Economic Warfare and became Churchill's Personal Assistant in 1940. He served on the UN's Economic Survey Mission for the Middle East in 1949, and served in the  Ministry of Civil Aviation from 1950 to 1953.
