Terry Bluford Moore (May 27, 1912, Vernon, Alabama — March 29, 1995, Collinsville, Illinois) was a talented center fielder for the St. Louis Cardinals of American Major League Baseball (1935-42; 1946-48). When his playing days ended, he served two terms (1949-52; 1956-58) as a Cardinals coach and managed the Philadelphia Phillies for the last half of the 1954 season.

A righthanded batter and thrower, Moore joined the St. Louis Cardinals the year after the "Gas House Gang" won the 1934 world championship. He was a brilliant defensive center fielder, and — although not known for his batting — he hit .280 in 1,298 games with 80 home runs. He played on two National League championship and world champion teams: the 1942 and 1946 Cardinals. During his career (interrupted by World War II service) he played with greats such as Dizzy Dean, Joe Medwick, Frankie Frisch, Johnny Mize, Enos Slaughter and Stan Musial — all members of the Baseball Hall of Fame.

His managing career was brief and uneventful. After beginning the 1954 season as a Phillies' scout, he replaced Steve O'Neill as the club's manager July 15 with the team in third place. He managed the Phils for exactly half a season — 77 games — and the team won only 35 of those games (for a winning percentage of .455), falling to fourth. During the offseason of 1954-55, he was replaced by Mayo Smith.
