Héctor Alfredo Moreno Herrera (born 17 January 1988) is a Mexican professional footballer who plays for Dutch club PSV Eindhoven and the Mexico national team as a central defender.
Moreno was a member of the under-17 national team that won the 2005 World Championship held in Peru. He has also represented Mexico at the 2010 and 2014 FIFA World Cups, as well as the 2011 CONCACAF Gold Cup and 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup.
Héctor Moreno joined UNAM's youth system in 2003 at the age of 15, and made his way into the first team after winning the FIFA U-17 World Championship with Mexico in 2005.
He made his professional debut during the Clausura 2006 tournament, coming on as an 88th-minute substitute, replacing Gerardo Galindo in the 1–0 victory over Santos Laguna on 22 January. He played his first full 90-minutes on 12 February in a 2–0 win over Veracruz, and scored his first goal the following week in a 1–3 defeat to Cruz Azul. Moreno would end the Clausura making six appearances in total. He would eventually secure his position as a regular starter.
For the Apertura 2007 Moreno would play in his first, and only, league final with UNAM, losing to Atlante by a 2–1 aggregate score.
