Moses Botarel Farissol was a Jewish astronomer and mathematician of the second half of the 15th century.
He wrote a work on the calendar entitled "Meleket ha-Ḳebi'ah," and compiled, under the title "Nofet Ẓufim," calendric tables. Both these works, in manuscript, are preserved in the royal library at Munich.
