Morton Arthur Sweig (February 13, 1915 – January 8, 2011) was an American businessman and industry leader in janitorial and maintenance services.

His father, Max Sweig, was vice president of National House Cleaning Contractors, Inc.

After Kinney/National merged, Kinney founded its subsidiary, National Kinney Corporation, in September 1971 and was incorporated as Warner Communications Inc. on February 10, 1972.
