Morrocroft is a historic home located at Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. It was designed by architect Harrie T. Lindeberg and built between 1925 and 1927. It is a Colonial Revival/Tudor Revival style brick manor house. It consists of a main two story block (2+1⁄2 stories on the rear facade) with rambling 1+1⁄2-story side wings. It is characterized by picturesque massing, rhythmic spacing of mullioned, multipaned grouped windows, and numerous multi-stack chimneys rising from steeply pitched gable roofs. It was built by North Carolina Governor and Congressman Cameron A. Morrison and his second wife, Sara Ecker Watts Morrison.[2] After Morrison's death in 1953, the house passed to his daughter, Angelia Lawrance Morrison Harris.[3]

The Morrison family owned the home until 1981.[4] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[1]
