Nuno Miguel Barbosa Morais (born January 29, 1984 in Penafiel) is a Portuguese footballer currently playing for APOEL of Cyprus. He is a centre-back but can also play in midfield.

Morais started his career at F.C. Penafiel, but in August 2004 was signed by English side Chelsea for an undisclosed fee. Morais signed a three-year contract after a successful trial period. He made his Chelsea debut in a FA Cup victory over Scunthorpe United in January 2005, playing the full 90 minutes. However, he found first-team opportunities limited, and he was loaned to CS Marítimo in the 2005-06 season.

On 11 May 2007 he signed a two-year deal with Cypriot champions APOEL on free transfer.^[1]
