William Moore (born 6 October 1894 in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Tyne and Wear, died September 26, 1968) was an English footballer who played as an inside left.
Moore played for Sunderland, where he partnered Henry Martin on the left, having previously played for Seaton Delaval.
Moore played for West Ham United between 1922 and 1929. He was an ever-present in the side that won promotion back to Division One in 1922-23, and played in the famous White Horse Final of 1923. He received full international recognition with a game against Sweden on 24 May 1923, scoring twice in a 3-1 victory, adding to the England Amateur caps he'd previously gained against Belgium, Denmark and Sweden.
