Morgan Francis Murphy (born April 16, 1932) was a Democratic member of the United States House of Representatives from Illinois. Representing Illinois’s 2nd Congressional District, he served five consecutive terms in Congress, holding office from January 21, 1971, until January 3, 1981. During this decade-long tenure, he was part of the Democratic Party’s delegation from Illinois at the federal level.

Murphy’s role as a U.S. Representative placed him at the center of national legislative activity during a period marked by significant political and social change in the United States. Although specific committee assignments and legislative initiatives are not detailed in the available record, his continuous service across five terms indicates sustained support from his constituents in the 2nd District. After leaving office in 1981, he held the status of a former member of Congress, with his career in the U.S. House defining his public life as documented here.
