Pablo Antonio Morales Pérez (17 August 1906 – 24 November 1969) was a Venezuelan baseball executive and promoter. He served as president of the International Baseball Federation (FIBA) in two periods (1946–1947; 1951–1952), and also took the reins of the organizing committee of the 1944 Amateur World Series held in Caracas.
Along with business partner Oscar Prieto Ortiz, Morales helped found the Caribbean Series, an international club championship for the Latin American winter leagues. He was also the owner of the Leones del Caracas club, which would become the most successful baseball team in the Venezuelan Professional Baseball League.
