Harry "Breaker" Morant (1864–1902) was an Australian soldier, poet, and horse breaker who served in the British Army during the Second Boer War.
Morant and fellow officers were court-martialed for the execution of Boer prisoners. Despite claims they followed orders, they were convicted of murder and executed. The trial's perceived injustice sparked enduring controversy.
The case inspired books, plays, and films (notably the 1980 movie Breaker Morant), cementing his status as a controversial folk hero in Australian military history.
