Milton Moran Weston II (better known as M. Moran Weston, September 10, 1910 – May 18, 2002) was an African-American Episcopal priest who "led one of Harlem's most prominent churches, helped found what became the nation's largest black-owned financial institution and built housing for thousands." In 1969 Weston explained his eclectic career saying "A banker-priest is really no more strange than an educator-priest or a social worker priest." Although he told the New York Times in 1986 "I do nothing ... I cause things to happen. If I have a gift, it is to encourage people that they can do the impossible" he also was willing to make things not happen: He opposed a school boycott "by arguing that it did no good to keep children out of school."

Fifteen years after accepting his position as rector of St. Philip's Episcopal Church in Manhattan, "the largest Protestant Episcopal church in the country" he was described as "one of the nation's busiest men, involved in a score of educational, financial, housing, health, youth and senior-citizen projects." When Knickerbocker Hospital closed, it was repurposed as senior housing with his name.
