Joseph Maurice Leo "Moe" Benoit (July 26, 1932 – December 10, 2013) was a Canadian professional hockey defenseman.

Benoit was born in Valleyfield, Quebec, and started playing professional hockey in 1948 for the Montreal Royals.

He had successful seasons with the Belleville McFarlands—the 1959 Team Canada that won the World Championships in Prague, Czechoslovakia.

After his Olympic success, he moved to the United States, where he was a player (and also a coach) for the Omaha Knights and Toledo Blades.

He won the Turner Cup twice—with the Blades in 1964 as the player-coach and with the Gems in 1969, also sharing the IHL 1968–69 best defenseman award with his teammate Alain Beaulé.
