Morse is a census-designated place (CDP) in Hansford County, Texas, United States. The population was 147 at the 2010 census.

The community was formed in 1929 when the North Texas & Santa Fe Railroad built through the area. The chief engineer of the railroad, Charles A. Morse, became the namesake of the town. The town was granted a post office in 1929, and the Morse Monitor was published later that same year. In the late 1930s the Chicago, Rock Island and Gulf Railroad intersected the Santa Fe at Morse.

Morse consolidated its school district with nearby Pringle in 1977. The school is located in the community of Morse.
