Robert Henry Moore (8 June 1872 - 20 February 1964) was an Anglican priest in the last decade of the 19th century and the first three of the 20th.[1]

Moore was educated at Trinity College, Dublin and ordained in 1897. After a curacy at St Luke's, Lower Falls, Belfast he went out to Australia. He served at Kanowna, Mount Morgans, Boulder and Fremantle. During World War I he served as a Chaplain in the AIF. When peace returned he became the Rector of Northam. He was also Archdeacon of Northam from 1921 until 1930; and the Dean of Perth from 1929 to 1947.[2]

He died in 1964, aged 91.[3] He was married twice: first in 1901 to Jane Josephine Watterson, who died in 1916, and, secondly, in 1921 to Margaret Riley, the daughter of the Archbishop of Perth, Charles Riley.[4]
