Roger D. Moore (November 16, 1939 – March 21, 2019) was the 1973 recipient (with Larry Breed and Richard Lathwell) of the Grace Murray Hopper Award from the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM).

It was given "for their work in the design and implementation of APL\360, setting new standards in simplicity, efficiency, reliability and response time for interactive systems.

"[1] Moore was a cofounder of I. P. Sharp Associates and held a senior position in the company for many years.

Along with his work on the programming language APL, he was also instrumental in the development of IPSANET, a private packet switching data network.

A significant body of faculty and students was now familiar with BALGOL, and the high compiling speed of the BAC was vital in an academic environment.

[4] To address this problem, in December 1961, Moore was hired by Forsythe to work on the SUBALGOL compiler for the IBM 7090.
