Rodolfo Morales (May 8, 1925 – January 30, 2001) was a Mexican painter, who incorporated elements of magic realism into his work.Morales is best known for his brightly colored surrealistic dream-like canvases and collages often featuring Mexican women in village settings.

He was notable for his restoration of historic buildings in Ocotlán de Morelos and, together with Rufino Tamayo and Francisco Toledo, helped make Oaxaca in Southern Mexico a centre for contemporary art and tourism.

Up until his death in 2001, both he and Toledo had been regarded as Mexico’s greatest living artists for over a decade.
