The Morris Eight is a small family car made by Morris Motors from 1935 to 1948.

The car was available with either a saloon or open tourer body mounted on a separate channel section chassis and equipped with a 918 cc four-cylinder side-valve engine with maximum power of 23.5 bhp

In 1938 the car was updated with a slight restyle to match the other cars in the Morris range. Changes included painted rather than plated radiator surrounds and disc wheels replaced the previous "Magna" wire spoked ones. The engine and running gear were unchanged.

The series E announced in October 1938 brought a major restyle with a "waterfall" dummy grille, headlights in the wings and the running boards had gone. The car was longer, wider and heavier but the wheelbase was actually 1-inch shorter. Production continued through the war for the military, essential civilian use and some export. Post-war production restarted in 1945 but there were no more tourers made in the UK.

A van version of the series E, rated at 5 cwt capacity and designated as the series Z, was produced from 1940 to 1954. While having the external appearance similar to the series E, mechanically the vans were more akin to the Series II, still having a three speed gearbox.
