Ayumi Morita (森田あゆみ, Morita Ayumi, born March 11, 1990) is a Japanese tennis player. She reached her career-high ranking of 40th in the world in October 2011. At junior level, she reached a combined career-high ranking of world No. 3.

Morita is known for strong and consistent two-handed groundstrokes which she hits very flat. She is also regarded as very tough mentally for a young player, often showing great resolve to win close matches despite a lackluster serve. Morita is a small and quick player with excellent footwork and movement around the court.

Morita is one of the most successful Fed Cup players of recent times with a 23–14 match win record for Japan.
