Manuel Augusto Moral da Veiga (16 March 1865 - 7 November 1913), also known as Manuel Moral y Vega or simply as Moral, was a Portuguese photographer and publisher. He was active in early twentieth-century Peru, where he is considered the "father of Peruvian photojournalism."
In Peru, he was involved in the publication of Prisma (1905 - June 1907), Variedades (a weekly launched 10 March 1908 and the former's successor) and, later, La Crónica. He maintained photographic studios in Callao and Central Lima.
