Maurice William (Moe) Mantha (born December 13, 1933 in North Bay, Ontario) is a former Canadian athlete and politician.

Mantha played minor league hockey for several teams in the AHL, the QHL and the WHL from 1954 to 1970. He subsequently returned to Sturgeon Falls and operated his own business (Laurentide Golf Club) for a number of years before entering politics, serving as the Reeve of Springer Township. To this day, he still owns and runs the golf course.

In the 1984 federal election, Mantha ran as the Progressive Conservative candidate in Nipissing. He won the seat, defeating Liberal incumbent Jean-Jacques Blais.

In the 1988 election, however, Mantha was defeated by Liberal candidate Bob Wood. Mantha ran again in the 1993 election, but lost to Wood again.

Mantha's son, Moe Mantha, Jr., played hockey in the NHL from 1980 to 1992, and subsequently became a coach for several teams in the AHL.
