William Moore (c. 1735 – July 24, 1793) was a Pennsylvania statesman and politician of the Revolutionary era. He served as Vice-President of Pennsylvania from 1779 to 1781, and then as President from 1781 to 1782. (The positions of President and vice-president of Pennsylvania are analogous to the modern offices of Governor and Lieutenant Governor, respectively).
