John Godfrey Moore (July 7, 1847 – June 24, 1899) was an American businessman, financier and Wall Street stock market promoter during the Gilded Age.

He gained fame by successfully suing the United States government in 1893, on constitutional grounds, to stop the new income tax Act from coming into effect, delaying it by 20 years.

The firm prospered very successfully in the expanding economy, and built many important business and government connections in Philadelphia and Washington, D.C.

With her inheritance, Lee was able to retire from the military in his early 30s, and start a very successful political career in Britain, being elected to the House of Commons in 1900.

Moore had purchased land near his birthplace, and constructed a famous home known as "Far From The Wolf", planning to turn the district into a resort and retreat for the wealthy to compete with Bar Harbor, Maine.

Maine land owned by Moore and donated by his heirs, following the death of his second wife, became part of present-day Acadia National Park.
