Roger Moorhouse (born 1968) is a British historian and author. Though born in Stockport, Cheshire, he was raised in Hertfordshire and was educated at Berkhamsted School.

Whilst a student, Moorhouse began working as a researcher for Professor Norman Davies. He collaborated with Professor Davies on many of the latter’s recent publications, including ', "The Isles", and "Rising ’44". This working relationship culminated in 2002 with the publication, in three languages, of a co-authored study of the history of the city of Wrocław (the former German Breslau) entitled '.

2006 saw the publication of "Killing Hitler", Moorhouse’s first solo book. An account of the numerous attempts on Hitler’s life, the book was a critical and commercial success and is published in a further ten languages, including German, Spanish, Russian, Italian and Japanese.

A fluent German speaker, Moorhouse is a specialist in modern German History, particularly Adolf Hitler and the Third Reich, and is a regular contributor to both History Today and the BBC History (magazine). A member of the British-German Association, and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, Moorhouse is married with two children and lives in Buckinghamshire.
