Andrew Morton is a Linux kernel developer. He maintains a patchset known as the mm tree, which contains not yet sufficiently tested patches that might later be accepted into the official 2.6 kernel maintained by Linus Torvalds. Andrew Morton is employed by OSDL, along with Torvalds.

Morton is one of the top echelon Linux developers who rejected the use of BitKeeper, which is proprietary software.

Andrew Morton delivered the keynote speech at the 2004 Ottawa Linux Symposium.
