Laban Kipkemoi Moiben (born 13 October 1983) is a Kenyan long-distance runner who competes professionally in marathon races.

He has a personal best of 2:09:12.9[1] hours for the distance and has won marathon races in Montreal, Los Angeles, Sacramento, Ottawa and Mumbai.

Raised in Eldama Ravine in Kenya's Rift Valley Province, he began running while studying at Timboroa High School (an institution also attended by Kenyan international medallist Daniel Kipchirchir Komen).

[6] Although he was eighth at the Rock 'n' Roll San Diego Marathon in June, he ran a personal record time of 2:13:31 hours.

[13][14] His 2012 running season began in a similar fashion to how 2011 had ended: it came down to a sprint finish against an Ethiopian, Raji Assefa on this occasion, and Moiben came out on top.
