Arturo Moreno (10 May 1909 – 25 June 1993) was a Spanish cartoonist, comics artist and animator.

His family moved to Barcelona when he was eight. Moreno began working as a professional artist in the 1920s, contributing to a satirical magazine, Pulgarcito.

In 1942, Moreno founded Diarmo Films with José María Arola. "Diarmo" is a portmanteau of "Dibujos animados Arola y Moreno" (Spanish for "Arola and Moreno Animations").

In 1948, he emigrated to Caracas, Venezuela and worked for the Venezuelan Ministry of Education on Tricolor, an educational children's magazine, as well as advertising spots. Moreno returned to Spain in 1956.

He was known as one of the most prominent Spanish animators.
