Charles Alexander Moore (March 11, 1901 – April 1967) was an American philosopher, historian, sinologist, and writer.

In 1936 he began his 30-year career at the University of Hawaiʻi, where he founded the East-West Philosophers' Conferences, directing the first four in 1939, 1949, 1959, and 1964.

He chaired the section on philosophy and religion at the UNESCO Conference in 1957, chaired the plenary session of the International Congress of Philosophy in Mexico City in 1963, and taught at various times as a visiting professor at Boston University, Cornell University, Duke University, and the University of Southern California.
