Morris Edward Opler (Buffalo, 3 de mayo de 1907-13 de mayo de 1996), antropólogo estadounidense y defensor de los derechos civiles de los estadounidenses de origen japonés. Fue hermano del antropólogo y psiquiatra social Marvin Opler.
Carrera
Opler se doctoró en la Universidad de Chicago en 1933. Impartió la docencia en el Reed College de Portland, Oregón y posteriormente en la Universidad Cornell y la Universidad de Oklahoma.
Su gran contribución en el campo de la etnografía fue la relacionada con los pueblos atabascanos del sur, es decir, los navajos y apaches: chiricahua, mescalero, lipán y jicarilla.
Su obra clásica es An Apache Life-Way (1941).
Trabajó con Grenville Goodwin, quien también estudió la organización social de los apaches occidentales. Tras la muerte prematura de Goodwin, Opler editó un volumen con sus cartas y otros escritos, publicado en 1973.
