This article is about the British writer and director on BBC, for other uses see John Morton .

John Morton is a British writer and director associated with the BBC Radio and television networks. He is perhaps best known for writing People Like Us, which starred Chris Langham. Originally produced for BBC Radio 4, it was later adapted for BBC Two. In a similar vein to the People Like Us was BBC Four's spoof arts review The Gist from 2001, which was presented by Robert Webb. For radio, he also created spoof 'glossy magazine' The Sunday Format.

Helen Atkinson-Wood says that, on first hearing People Like Us, she rang the BBC in praise of the programme, was given Morton's phone number, and turned his own "Are you married?" 'catchphrase' on him. He is now – to her.
