Carlos Felipe Morales Languasco (Puerto Plata, 23 August 1867 – Paris, 1 March 1914) was a Dominican priest, politician and military figure.
Carlos Morales Languasco was born in Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic on August 23, 1868. He was the son of Isabel Languasco Chevalier (1832–1905), a native of Puerto Plata, and Agustín Morales Robainne (1839–1893), a native of the Danish West Indies. Languasco was the daughter of a Nicolasa Chevalier Bonne, of French descent and native of Puerto Plata, and Agustín Languasco, a North Italian immigrant from the Kingdom of Sardinia-Piedmont. Meanwhile Agustín Morales was the son of Rovisa Rossetta Robainne (1803–1857), a native of Saint Thomas (Danish West Indies), and Agustín Morales Brito (1806—1869), a Spaniard from Lanzarote.
Morales Languasco was ordained presbyter or priest by monsignor Fernando Arturo de Meriño in 1891.
