Samuel Kaboo Morris (1873 – May 12, 1893) was a Liberian prince who converted to evangelicalChristianity around the age of 14. He left Liberia for the United States of America to achieve an education at around the age of 18. He arrived at Taylor University in December 1891. A residence hall at Taylor bearing his name now exists. He died on May 12, 1893 after contracting a severe cold.
Morris's life has been the subject of five novels, a number of biographies, a film, and a documentary.
