Miles Gonzalo Morales is a fictional character, a superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics, and is one of the characters known as Spider-Man.

Miles Morales was featured in the Ultimate Comics: Spider-Man comic book series, and after Marvel ended the Ultimate imprint in 2015, Miles was made a character in the main Marvel Universe, beginning with stories under the All-New, All-Different Marvel branding that debuted that same year, with the older native 616-Morales ultimately being established as the character's archenemy: Ultimatum.

Miles Morales was created by writer Brian Michael Bendis and artist Sara Pichelli.

Miles Morales was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York City, the then-13-year-old son of an African American father and a Puerto Rican mother.
