James Edward Moore (29 November 1902 – 28 January 1986) was a United States Army four-star general who served as the United States High Commissioner of the Ryukyus after World War II.

A graduate of the West Point class of 1924 and the Command and General Staff College at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, Moore became the aide-de-camp to Brigadier General William H. Simpson in November 1940. He subsequently served as Simpson's chief of staff with the 35th and 30th Infantry Divisions, the XII Corps, and Fourth and the Ninth armies. He was chief of staff of the Ninth Army throughout its campaigns in the European Theater of Operations in 1944–1945.

After the war, he was the commanding general of the IX Corps from 1955 to 1958, Deputy Chief of Staff of the Army for Operations from 1958 to 1959, and the chief of staff at Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers in Europe until his retirement in June 1963.
