Harrison Morgan is a fictional character from the Dexter television franchise. He is the biological son of Dexter Morgan and Rita Bennett Morgan and the younger half-brother of Astor and Cody Bennett. Harrison was introduced as an infant in Season 4 of Dexter and was portrayed by several child actors, before Jack Alcott took over the role as an older Harrison in Dexter: New Blood and Dexter: Resurrection.

In Dexter: New Blood, Harrison reunites with his father as a teenager. In Dexter: Resurrection, Jack Alcott continues as Harrison, now an adult living in New York City; the official Paramount+ cast information identifies him as Dexter's son. Harrison begins a new chapter in his life by joining the New York City Police Department, becoming a rookie police officer.

As an NYPD officer, Harrison becomes involved in investigations against dangerous criminals and serial killers. His greatest personal conflict comes from discovering the truth about his father, Dexter Morgan, and confronting the possibility that Dexter's violent legacy must finally be brought to justice.

Harrison's transformation from Dexter's troubled son into a law-enforcement officer places him on the opposite side of the law from his father. His knowledge of Dexter's behavior, methods, and history gives him an unusual perspective when pursuing criminals.

In this interpretation, Harrison Morgan becomes a new Law Enforcement Hero, determined to protect innocent people, catch serial killers, and ultimately help bring Dexter Morgan to justice.
