María Victoria Moreno Márquez (1 May 1939 – 22 November 2005) was a Spanish writer and teacher. She was one of the pioneers of literature for children and young people in Galician. The Day of Galician Literature was devoted to her on 17 May 2018.

Born in a town bordering Portugal, she was the daughter of a lawyer and a teacher, studied in Barcelona and graduated in Romance Studies from the University of Madrid, where she was taught by Rafael Lapesa and Dámaso Alonso.^[1] After spending two years in Lugo and some time in Vilalonga (Sanxenxo), where she began to write Anagnórise, she arrived in Pontevedra in 1963 as a teacher (later a professor) and taught at the IES Valle-Inclán and the IES Gonzalo Torrente Ballester.

She actively participated in the cultural and political life of Pontevedra. Her fascination from a very young age with Galicia and its language led to an absolute commitment to the defence and promotion of Galician.
