Louis-Zéphirin Moreau (1 April 1824 – 24 May 1901) was a Canadian Roman Catholic prelate who served as the fourth Bishop of Saint-Hyacinthe from 1875 until his death in 1901.
He was also the cofounder of the Sisters of Saint Joseph of – an order he founded with Élisabeth Bergeron – and the founder of the Sisters of Sainte Martha.

But a benefactor in the Coadjutor Bishop of Montreal saw him advance towards his ordination and he served as an aide to several bishops in the diocesan secretariat and later as a diocesan vicar general.In his role as a bishop he revitalized his diocese and erected several new parishes to further bolster the diocese's strength.
He was known for his piousness and for his dedication to the religious life as evident in the foundation of two religious congregations he set himself on.Moreau's beatification was celebrated in mid-1987.
