John Francis Moore (1816 Wiltshire, England- April 5, 1870, Montreal, Quebec) was a lumber merchant and politician.
He and his brother Edward formed J. and F. Moore Lumber Merchants and Nursery, located at Rebecca Street; south side of market square.
Moore was elected alderman to represent St. Lawrence's Ward and was chosen as Mayor in 1857 by the council.
In this capacity, he proclaimed a day of 'humiliation and prayer' following the train accident known as the Desjardins Canal disaster on 12 March 1857.
His remains were returned to Hamilton for burial and the City Council attended the funeral in a body.
