Enrico "Henry" Agostino Morselli (1852-1929) was an Italian physician and professor at the University of Turin. He is best known for the publication of his influential book, ''Suicide: An Essay on Comparative Moral Statistics'' (1881) claiming that suicide was primarily the result of the struggle for life and nature's evolutionary process.〔Stark, Rodney; Bainbridge, William Sims.

In Italy, he is known for a big psychiatry textbook, ''A Guide to the Semiotics of Mental Illness''."〔Shorter, Edward. (2005). ''A Historical Dictionary of Psychiatry''. Oxford University Press. p. 182. ISBN 978-0195176681〕 Morselli was an eugenicist and some of his writings have been linked to scientific racialism.〔Cassata, Francesco. (2011).

(2012). ''The Oxford Handbook of the History of Eugenics''. Oxford University Press. p. 380. ISBN 978-0199945054〕 Morselli was also interested in mediumship and psychical research. He studied the medium Eusapia Palladino and concluded that some of her phenomena was genuine, being evidence for an unknown bio-psychic force present in all humans.〔Brancaccio, Maria Teresa. (2014).
