Moses Wright Hannon (December 14, 1827 – June 3, 1897) was a Confederate States Army colonel during the American Civil War.

Although Hannon commanded a brigade in the cavalry corps of the Army of Tennessee and in Major General Joseph Wheeler's cavalry corps from June 1864 until the end of the war, he never was officially appointed by Jefferson Davis and confirmed by the Confederate Senate to brigadier general rank.

[2][4] Moses Wright Hannon was elected captain of a company of the 1st Alabama Cavalry Regiment when the Civil War began.

[1][2][4][5] During the Atlanta campaign, starting in April 1864, Hannon commanded a small brigade in the division of Brigadier General William Y.C.

[1][2] Hannon's brigade was part of Wheeler's force which opposed Major General William T. Sherman's March to the Sea and Carolinas Campaign.

[5][13] Hannon was wounded again at the Battle of Monroe's Crossroads, near Kinston, North Carolina, on March 10, 1865, and was disabled for the remainder of the war.
