Genoveva Torres Morales (3 January 1870 – 5 January 1956) was a Spanish Roman Catholic nun who established her own congregation known as the Daughters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and of the Holy Angels. She wanted her new congregation to focus on the care of women. During her life and after her death, she was referred to as an "Angel of Solitude".[1]

Pope John Paul II beatified her in 1995 and canonized her in 2003 in Spain.[2]
