María Cristina Forero (born 7 May 1947), known by her pseudonym María Moreno, is an Argentine writer, journalist, and cultural critic. Considered one of the most prominent contemporary Argentine chroniclers and essayists, she has dedicated herself to journalistic work and writings related to women's and feminist themes, in addition to fiction.
UBA academic Laura A. Arnés described her first novel, El affair Skeffington, as one of the three "central novels for an Argentine lesbian tradition", along with En breve cárcel by Sylvia Molloy and Monte de Venus by Reina Roffé. Her second novel, Black out (2016), was internationally acclaimed and received the Critics' Award for Best Argentine Creative Writing.
