Charles Calvin Moore (born February 26, 1866 – died March 19, 1958) was a Republican Governor of Idaho, serving from 1923 until 1927.

Moore served in the Idaho Legislature as a member of the Idaho State House of Representatives from 1903 to 1906. He was elected Lieutenant Governor of Idaho in 1918 and served in that capacity during the administration of Governor D. W. Davis.

In 1922 Moore was elected Governor of Idaho, defeating Progressive H. F. Samuels and former Democratic Governor Moses Alexander. Moore became the first person in Idaho history to successfully run for governor after serving as lieutenant governor. He was reelected in 1924, by defeating Samuels and Democrat A. L. Freehafer.
