David Morley (writer)

David Morley (born March 1962) is a British writer and radio producer.

Morley wrote a biography of UK politician George Galloway, Gorgeous George: The Life and Adventures of George Galloway (2007). The book's foreword was written by broadcaster Clive Anderson. The Daily Telegraph pulled a favorable review just before publication due to advice from its lawyers, who considered it too risky as they had previously lost a libel case to Galloway.

Morley is a former producer of BBC Radio 2's Clive Anderson's Chat Room and Gold Sony Award winning The Real Alex Ferguson, BBC Radio Five Live, also presented by Clive Anderson.

In 2007, he produced the radio play The McKinnon Extradition, broadcast on BBC Radio 4.
