Juan de Dios Morandé Vicuña (1873 – 7 January 1957) was a Chilean politician and farmer who served as a member of the Chamber of Deputies of Chile.
A member of the Conservative Party, Morandé was elected deputy for Santiago for the 1909–1912 term, but his election was invalidated in July 1909 in favor of Zenón Torrealba. He was elected again for the 1912–1915 term and served on the Permanent Commission of War and Navy.
Morandé was born in Santiago to Juan de Dios Morandé Portales and Dolores Vicuña Mackenna. He studied at Colegio San Ignacio and later worked in agriculture.
In 1906, he briefly accepted an appointment as Intendant of Chiloé but gave up the post before taking office. Later that year, he was appointed to oversee matters involving the state railways and coal suppliers. He was also active in local government as a councillor and mayor of Barrancas, now part of Pudahuel.
Morandé was involved in private development projects outside Santiago, including the construction of an electric railway serving Población Morandé. He also financed public and religious buildings and developed the Hotel Villa Trouville in Las Cruces.
He died on 7 January 1957.
