Temple Lushington Moore (7 June 1856 - 1920) was an architect working in the Gothic revival style.

He was the son of Captain George Frederick Moore (1818–84) and Charlotte Reilly (1826–1922).
He married Emma Wilton, daughter of Richard Wilton of Londesborough.
Temple Moore was articled to George Gilbert Scott, Jr. from 1875 to 1878 and stayed with him as assistant. By 1890 he had established his own practice and continued working until his death in 1920. In 1919 he went into partnership with his son-in-law, Leslie Moore, and the practice took the name Temple Moore and Moore.
The vast majority of his work was spent designing Ecclesiastical Architecture.
The only known house he designed was that of Holmwood, Redditch House, Plymouth Road near Redditch for a relative, Canon Horace Newton, (not to be confused with Holmwood House in Glasgow). The house features stunning classical interiors and in 1994 was converted by Bovis into six large flats, and a courtyard stable block built (containing four more flats and garages) in a similar style.
Previously it was owned by the Redditch Development Corporation as their base when planning Redditch's move to "New Town" status. It had been sold by Canon Newton's trustees in 1923 to the Royal Antediluvian Order of Buffaloes, a charitable organisation who used it as a rest home. The Earl of Plymouth officially opened the new home.
