Moreno Partido is a partido of the Buenos Aires Province, Argentina, within the Gran Buenos Aires urban agglomerate. It has an area of 186 square kilometres, and a population of 462,242.[1] Its named after Argentine politician Mariano Moreno.

The evolution of the population from the end of the 20th century is: 114,041 (1970); 194,440 (1980); 287,295 (1991); 380,503 (2001); 462,242 (2010)

Moreno has grown in population during the first years of the 21st century thanks to the Chinese immigration that swept all over Argentina to which Moreno was no exception.

Moreno is connected to Capital Federal with the railways (Ferrocarril Sarmiento), where Moreno is the last station and Once (Capital Federal) is the first one.

In 2007 Moreno renewed itself by doing a makeover of its bus and train station based on 1980s architectural plan. Several streets in Moreno Centro have changed from two-way streets to one way because of this since the beginning of the 21st century.
