Incumbent party candidate Mr Moreno won 51.16% of the vote, the country's electoral council announced.
Conservative Guillermo Lasso, whom three exit polls predicted would win after the vote on Sunday, got 48.8%.
Mr Lasso has already indicated he will challenge the vote, having earlier alleged fraud.
