Neil Sorvel (born 2 March 1973 in Whiston, South Yorkshire) is an English footballer who currently plays for English League Two club Morecambe and currently resides in the town of Widnes. He is a midfielder.

He began his league career with Macclesfield Town, where he spent six years. In this period Macclesfield finished first in the Football Conference in 1995, but were denied promotion due to their stadium, which did not meet league standards. Promotions did come in 1997 and in 1998, as Macclesfield climbed to tier 3 of English football. Relegation down to Division Three followed in 1999. Sorvel left on a free transfer in July 1999, having become a regular for the club over six seasons.

Six seasons at Division One (subsequently named the Championship) Crewe Alexandra followed, where he played almost every game.

Dropping down two levels to join Shrewsbury Town on a free transfer, he made his début for the club on 6 August 2005 in a 1-0 defeat at home to Rochdale. After being a first team regular for the 2005-06 season and the opening part of the 2006-07 season, Sorvel fell out of favour with Shrewsbury manager Gary Peters, and lost his place in the first team. This caused him to accept a free move to then-Conference club Morecambe in January 2007. Morecambe were promoted to Football League Two for the first time in their history at the end of that season.
