John Moore (26 April 1730 – 18 January 1805) was a bishop in the Church of England.
Moore was the son of George Moore, butcher, and his wife Jane. He was born in Gloucester and was educated at the Crypt School there. He was a student at Pembroke College, Oxford (1745, BA 1748, MA 1751).
Patronage from the third duke of Marlborough gained him the fifth prebendal stall at Durham Cathedral (1761) and a canonry of the first prebend at Christ Church, Oxford (1763).[1] He next became Dean of Canterbury (1771–1775). He was appointed bishop of Bangor (1774–1783) and subsequently Archbishop of Canterbury from 1783 until his death in 1805.[2]
