contents In this paper we introduce Morse Lie groupoid morphisms and study their main properties. We show that this notion is Morita invariant which gives rise to a well defined notion of Morse function on differentiable stacks. We show a groupoid version of the Morse lemma which is used to describe the topological behavior of the critical subgroupoid levels of a Morse Lie groupoid morphism around its nondegenerate critical orbits. We also prove Morse type inequalities for certain separated differentiable stacks and construct a Morse double complex whose total cohomology is isomorphic to the Bott-Shulman-Stasheff cohomology of the underlying Lie groupoid. We provide several examples and applications.
