Moses Hoge (February 15, 1752 – July 5, 1820) was a Presbyterian minister as well as an educator and abolitionist.

From the start, Hoge's main interest was in training ministers, and his efforts laid the groundwork for the establishment of what became Union Theological Seminary (now Union Presbyterian Seminary) at the south end of the college campus.

During his trip, Hoge visited Princeton to see Samuel Stanhope Smith, the first president of Hampden–Sydney, whose preaching had helped lead him to the ministry over forty years earlier.

Randolph, in writing of him, said, "Doctor Hoge was the most eloquent man I ever heard in the pulpit or out of it.

"[3][4] Hoge was instrumental in founding Virginia's only chapter of the American Colonization Society.
