Andrew FitzJames Morrough (fl. c.1650 – c.1692) was an Irish Jacobite politician.[1]
Morrough was the son of James Morrough. In 1668 he was admitted to Gray's Inn and was later called to the Irish bar.[1] Under a new charter granted to Kinsale by James II, from 28 February 1687 he held the office of Recorder of Kinsale. A supporter of James II, in 1689 he was elected to the short-lived Patriot Parliament as a Member of Parliament for Kinsale alongside Miles de Courcy.[2] He also served as a tax assessor for County Cork. Following the conclusion of the Williamite War in Ireland, Morrough lost land amounting to a value of £80 per year in the Williamite land confiscations.[1]
