Manolita Piña Torres-Garcia (née Rubies 24 February 1883 – 11 June 1994) was a Spanish-Uruguayan painter and supercentenarian. She was known as "Doña Manolita" in Uruguay.

Piña Torres was the wife of Uruguayan painter Joaquín Torres García. Considered an "inseparable companion" to Torres García, she accompanied him to conferences, exhibitions and supported all of his artistic endeavors. In many ways, Piña Torres was "like his shadow." She was the founder of Museo Torres Garcia in Montevideo.
