Lucy Ella Moten (c. 1851 – August 24, 1933) was an American educator and medical doctor.

Moten attended Howard University for two years and then enrolled at the State Normal School in Salem, Massachusetts, graduating in 1875.

While heading the Miner School, she decided to enroll at Howard University Medical College so she could better care for her students' health and to create a new course on hygiene.

During summer break she often taught classes for other educators in the American South.
