Saúl Morales (1973-2000) was a Spanish cyclist.

He became professional in 1999, at the Fuenlabrada team. That year his fellow team member Manuel Sanromà died during the Tour of Catalonia. Three years earlier, José Antonio Espinosa another Fuenlabrada member, died after a traffic accident during a training. Morales suffered the same fate as his teammates. In 2000, during the Tour of Argentina, he was hit by a truck that accidentally came between the riders. Out of protest, several European teams withdrew from the race. Morales' death was not the first incident: bad roads, bad medical treatment, officials favouring Argentinian riders. Since 2000 the Tour of Argentine is not held any more.

Morales' only victory was a stage in the Tour of Venezuela in 1999.
