Stanford Moore (September 4, 1913 – August 23, 1982) was a U.S. biochemist. He won a Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1972, for his work on ribonuclease and for contribution to the understanding of the connection between chemical structure and catalytic activity of the ribonuclease molecule.

Moore attended Peabody Demonstration School, now known as University School of Nashville, and he graduated summa cum laude from Vanderbilt University, where he was a member of Phi Kappa Sigma, in 1935 and earned his doctorate in Organic Chemistry from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1938.
