Agnes Morton (6 March 1872 – 5 April 1952) was a British female tennis player.[1] She twice reached the Ladies Singles finals at the 1908 and 1909 Wimbledon Championships and claimed victory in 1914 in Ladies Doubles with partner Elizabeth Ryan. She placed fourth at the 1908 Summer Olympics in Ladies Lawn Tennis.[2] In 1903, she was described by A. Wallis Myers as a 'careful, steady and improving player'.[3]
Her other career singles highlights included winning the Redhill Open Tournament nine times (1903-04, 1906-07, 1909-12, 1914).
