Gerardo Rubén Morales (born 18 July 1959) is an Argentine politician, former Governor of Jujuy Province (2015–2023) and Secretary General of the Radical Civic Union.

He stepped down as a Jujuy Congressman in 2000 to join the national government of President Fernando de la Rúa as Secretary for Social Development.

Roberto Lavagna, a former minister under Kirchner who subsequently opposed his policies, appeared to be the favored candidate for the majority of the party.

Morales entered subsequently into a heated political dispute with Milagro Sala, the leader of the Indigenist Tupac Amaru Neighborhood Association and with whom he is obsessed.

Expecting protests from Milagro Sala, he requested policial reinforcements to the national government, to prevent riots during the end of the year.

43 gendarmeries were sent to Jujuy, but died in a car accident at Rosario de la Frontera, in unclear circumstances.

[10] The Tupac Amaru organization denied the existence of violence in the province, and started a permanent demonstration at the Jujuy plaza.

[11] Morales accused the organizations that compose the Tupac Amaru of keeping the social welfare money for themselves, and distributing it only to their political supporters.
