María de los Ángeles Trinidad de Moya Pérez (January 13, 1863 – March 13, 1941), known as just Trina de Moya, was a Dominican Republic poet and writer. She served as the First Lady of the Dominican Republic as the wife of President Horacio Vásquez for three nonconsecutive terms. De Moya was the first Dominican presidential wife to be called "first lady", a title which came into widespread public usage during her third tenure from 1924 to 1930.
Trina de Moya's best known literary works include the Dominican version of Himno a la Madre, a Latin American hymn dedicated to mothers, which premiered on May 30, 1926. She often published her poetry and other writings under the literary pseudonyms "T. Colombina" and "Angela".
