Arthur William Moore, CVO, SHK, JP, MA (6 February 1853[1] – 12 November 1909[2]) was a Manx antiquarian, historian, linguist, folklorist, and former Speaker of the House of Keys in the Isle of Man.

He was also a great sportsman, being a blue whilst at Cambridge,[4] an active rower, and a founding member of Cronkbourne Cricket Club.

Arthur Moore was a man of common sense who researched thoroughly his duties and parliamentary responsibility, and thus when Sir John Goldie-Taubman died in 1898 he was elected Speaker of the House of Keys narrowly beating John Allen Mylrea to the post.

In his years as Speaker he welcomed King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra to the island during their visit in August 1902,[6] an occasion on which he was appointed a Commander of the Royal Victorian Order (CVO) by King Edward.

Arthur Moore was also particularly interested in literature dealing with the Isle of Man and sought to conserve not only the language but the music, lore, and tradition of the island.

He founded and edited the Manx Notebook[8] as well as writing a History of the Isle of Man and many other historical works on the Island.

Mr Moore was also a Mason and became the Junior Grand Deacon of the Province of the Isle of Man.
