Frank Weston Moore (born April 22, 1957) is an American college basketball coach who is the current women's basketball head coach at NC State. A head coach at all three levels of NCAA women's college basketball since 1987, Moore has been named Coach of the Year eight times by three conferences and over 20 regular season or conference tournament championships.

Moore grew up in Dallas and played college basketball at Johnson Bible College. He began his coaching career as a men's basketball coach at Johnson Bible in 1984. Then in 1987, Moore became head coach for a struggling women's basketball program at Maryville College and instantly turned the program into a winner, with five NCAA Division III Tournament appearances and over 130 wins in six seasons. The Women's Basketball Coaches Association awarded Moore three regional Coach of the Year honors.

From 1993 to 1995, Moore was a women's basketball assistant coach at NC State under Kay Yow. Then from 1995 to 1998, Moore was head coach at Francis Marion, where he achieved an appearance in the 1998 NCAA Division II Final Four. In his first NCAA Division I head coaching position, Moore was head coach at Chattanooga from 1998 to 2013, during which he led the Mocs to 12 Southern Conference (SoCon) regular season championships and nine NCAA Division I Tournament appearances. With over 350 wins at Chattanooga, Moore has the most career wins in program history and won five Coach of the Year honors from the SoCon.

Moore returned to NC State in 2013, this time as head coach. In his first seven seasons, Moore led NC State to four NCAA Tournament appearances and the 2020, 2021 and 2022 ACC Tournament titles. He was the Atlantic Coast Conference's Coach of the Year in women's basketball in 2017 and 2022.
