Drew Moor (born January 15, 1984 in Dallas, Texas) is an American soccer defender, who currently plays for FC Dallas of Major League Soccer.

Drew Moor attended the Episcopal School of Dallas. Moor played college soccer for Furman University in 2002, before transferring to Indiana University, where he played for two seasons. He started every game during his college career and helped the Hoosiers to back-to-back National Championships. His last collegiate game was in the penalty kick thriller against UC Santa Barbara in the 2004 NCAA Finals in which Moor's Indiana was triumphant. Moor was named All-Big Ten as a junior and a first team All-American as a senior. After spending the summer of 2004 playing for Chicago Fire Premier in the USL Premier Development League, he was drafted by Dallas with the sixth overall pick of the 2005 MLS SuperDraft and played sparringly in his rookie season. In the 2006 seaon, Moor started the season in backup position, but after a series of strong performances and weak ones by the incumbent Clarence Goodson, he earned the starting spot finishing the season with 27 games played and a goal.

Moor has played for various youth United States national teams, and was part of the U-20 squad for the 2003 World Youth Championship in the UAE. He is considered one of the top young defenders in the MLS.

He played for the USA in Copa América 2007 and started for the Men's National Team in a friendly versus Mexico on February 6th, 2008 where assisted Jozy Altidore in the young striker's first international goal.
