Henry Byron Moore (11 February 1839 – 22 June 1925) was an Australian businessman, remembered as secretary of the Victorian Racing Club (VRC) for 45 years, from 1881 to 1925, a few weeks before his death.

[2] The following year he joined the public service, where in time he was producing maps for the Land Office, where John Walter Osborne was at the forefront of the nascent art of photo-lithography, and rose to the position of Surveyor-General.

[3] Most other sacked public servants were reinstated, but Moore re-invented himself a financial agent and broker, founding the Melbourne Stock Exchange in Collins Street.

When he was unable to convince the committee of the desirability of investing in its own grounds when the course was on Crown land, he purchased with £10,000 of his own money, 100 acres (40 ha) at the back of the hill, and years later sold it to the Club for the same sum for the great grandstand.

The committee, in appointing him adviser to the club for life, realised that anything it might do would be inadequate to express the debt it owed to him.Moore married Mary Morrow (c. 1847 – 4 July 1938)[6] on 20 September 1877.
