No. British passport holders do not need a visa for tourist stays of up to 90 days. You get an entry stamp on arrival — no application or fee. Your passport must be valid for the duration of your stay, and you should have proof of return travel and accommodation.
No visa needed — British citizens travel to Morocco visa-free for tourism and get up to 90 days on arrival. There's no e-visa, no online application and no fee; an immigration officer simply stamps your passport when you land at Marrakech, Casablanca or wherever you fly into. It's one of the reasons Morocco is such a popular, fuss-free choice from the UK.
The passport rules are the part to get right. Since Brexit, UK passports need to be valid for the whole of your intended stay, and I always advise clients to keep a comfortable buffer of validity beyond their return date — airlines sometimes apply a six-month rule of their own. Make sure you've got a blank page for the stamp. Technically you should also be able to show a return or onward ticket and your accommodation details; in reality you're rarely asked, but having your return flight and first riad booking on your phone covers it.
At the airport you'll complete a short arrival card before passport control — just your details and where you're staying. Keep the stamp and any stub, as you can be asked for it when you leave. The 90 days is the cap for tourism; staying longer means applying for an extension locally, which is a real faff, so for any normal holiday it simply never comes up.
My standard advice to UK travellers is to give the official UK government 'Foreign travel advice: Morocco' page a quick read shortly before you fly, since entry requirements can be updated. But the practical position right now is reassuringly simple: valid passport, return ticket, get your stamp, enjoy Morocco. No visa admin to deal with at all.
