Ulisses Manuel Nogueira Morais (born 22 November 1959) is a retired Portuguese footballer who played as a forward, and a current manager.

Born in the village of Almoster, Santarém, Morais played for 18 years as a senior but only eight at the professional level. He represented S.C. Covilhã, GD Bragança, U.D. Guarda, Sport Benfica e Castelo Branco, Varzim S.C. and G.D. Peniche in the second division, and O Elvas C.A.D. in the Primeira Liga.

With the latter club, Morais appeared in three games in the 1987–88 season as it finished in 15th position out of 20 teams but still suffered relegation. He retired in late 1995, at the age of 36.

Morais started working as a manager immediately after retiring, his first eight years being spent in the third level or lower. From 2002 to 2004, he led G.D. Estoril Praia to two consecutive promotions all the way to the top flight; after the latter conquest, he completed his UEFA coaching degree, level III.

From there onwards, Morais coached solely in the first division, with Gil Vicente FC, C.S. Marítimo, Associação Naval 1º de Maio, F.C. Paços de Ferreira, Académica de Coimbra and S.C. Beira-Mar. He was dismissed by the third on 7 September 2009 due to poor results, and only suffered relegation with the first due to irregularities, as he led Gil to the 12th place in the 2005–06 campaign.
