Lindley Moore (May 31, 1788 – August 14, 1871), was a Canadian-American abolitionist, educator, and farmer. With Frederick Douglass, he coordinated travel plans on the Underground Railroad and they gave speeches at anti-slavery assemblies. Moore worked with Hiram Wilson to identify and make education available for formerly enslaved people who had made it across the United States-Canadian border.
Moore operated private schools in the New York City area and was a superintendent and a teacher at Haverford College. In Rochester, New York, he operated a 170-acre farm in the 1830s and then returned to teaching. His wife, Abigail Mott Moore was the niece of Lucretia Mott.
