Robert L. Moran (October 3, 1884 – August 18, 1954) was a Bronx politician who served as President of the Board of Alderman of New York City from 1918 to 1919, filling a vacancy left by Alfred E. Smith after Smith’s election as Governor of New York. Nominated by the Democratic Party to succeed himself as board president, Moran faced Republican Representative Fiorello H. La Guardia in the election of 1919, losing by a plurality of 1,363 votes. As Aldermanic president during the first term of Mayor John F. Hylan, Moran served on several occasions as Acting Mayor of New York City. He was appointed by Governor Smith to serve as County Clerk of the Bronx, an office to which he was elected in 1921 and re-elected in 1924. In 1929, Moran was elected Sheriff of the Bronx, and from 1933 to 1942 served as Bronx Commissioner of Public Works. ("Source:" "R.L.
