Pierre Moreau (born December 12, 1957 in Vercheres, Quebec) is a politician in the Canadian province of Quebec and former Minister of Transportation. He was first elected to represent the riding of Marguerite-D'Youville in the National Assembly of Quebec in the 2003 provincial election, but was defeated in the 2007 provincial election by Simon-Pierre Diamond of the Action démocratique du Québec. He was subsequently re-elected in the 2008 provincial election in the riding of Châteauguay. He is a member of the Quebec Liberal Party.

Moreau obtained a license in law from Laval University and was called to the Quebec Bar in 1981. He practiced law for 22 years until his election in 2003. He was also a teacher for seven years at École de formation professionnelle du Barreau du Québec. During his first term, he was the assistant to the deputy leader Jacques Dupuis. After his loss, he was named the chief cabinet of Parliamentary leader Jean-Marc Fournier.

Following his election in 2008, Moreau was named the Chief Whip of the Liberal Party replacing Norman MacMillan for that position. He then served as Minister responsible for Canadian Intergovernmental Affairs and the Canadian Francophonie and Minister responsible for the Reform of Democratic Institutions and Access to Information from February 3, 2011 to September 6, 2011. Moreau was Minister of Transport from September 7, 2011 to September 19, 2012. While the Liberal government was defeated in the fall 2012 provincial election he retained his seat in the National Assembly. He was an unsuccessful candidate to succeed Jean Charest as Liberal Party leader in 2013.^[1]
