- Wayne Lyman Morse (October 20, 1900 – July 22, 1974) was a politician and attorney from Oregon, United States, known for his proclivity for opposing his parties' leadership, and specifically for his opposition to the Vietnam War on constitutional grounds. Born and educated in the midwest, Morse moved to Oregon in 1930 and began teaching at the University of Oregon School of Law. During World War II he was elected to the United States Senate as a Republican; he became an Independent after Dwight D. Eisenhower's election to the presidency in 1952. While an independent, he set a record for performing the longest one-person filibuster in the history of the Senate. Morse joined the Democratic Party in 1955, and was reelected twice while a member of that party. Morse made a brief run for the Democratic Party's presidential nomination in 1960. A few years later, Morse was one of only two Senators who opposed the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, which authorized the president to take military action in Vietnam without a declaration of war. He continued to speak out against the war in the ensuing years, and lost his 1968 bid for reelection to Bob Packwood, who criticized his strong opposition to the war. Morse made two more bids for reelection to the Senate before his death in 1974.

- Wayne Lyman Morse var en amerikansk politiker som var senator i Det amerikanske senatet for delstaten Oregon fra 1945 til 1969. Han ble innvalgt for Rebublikanerne i 1945, men meldte seg ut av partiet i 1952 i protest mot Richard Nixon. Han var derfra uavhengig kandidat helt til han i 1955 gikk over til Demokratene. Morse huskes best for at han var den ene av de to senatorene som stemte mot Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, en resolusjon som gav USAs regjering fullmakt til å angripe Vietnam og dermed utløse Vietnam-krigen. Morse markerte seg i ettertid som en av de argeste kritikerne av USA krigføring i Vietnam. Hans politiske karriere ble i 1999 portretert i dokumentarfilmen The Last Angry Man: The Story of America's Most Controversial Senator, av Christopher Houser and Robert Millis.
- Wayne Lyman Morse był znanym politykiem amerykańskim. W roku 1945 został wybrany senatorem ze stanu Oregon z ramienia Partii Republikańskiej. Reprezentował postępowe skrzydło tego stronnictwa, które opuścił w roku 1952 na znak prostestu przeciwko decyzji generała Dwighta D. Eisenhowera, która polegała na tym, iż jego kandydatem na urząd wiceprezydenta został Richard Nixon. Po dwóch latach spędzonych w senackich ławach jako niezależny, Morse zmienił przynależnośc partyjną na demokratę. W roku 1960 był jednym z kandydatów do nominacji swej partii na urząd prezydenta USA, ale bez rezultatu. Jako jeden z dwóch senatorów na stu głosował przeciwko rezolucji tonkińskiej, która dawała administracji zielone światło do zaangażowania wojsk w Wietnamie. Morse przegrał walkę o kolejny wybór na senatora w roku 1968. Potem próbował odzyskać swój dawny fotel, ale w roku 1972 też przegrał.
