Beth Moore (* 1957) ist eine US-amerikanische Bibellehrerin, Bestsellerautorin und Gründerin von Living Proof Ministries in Houston, Texas. Bekannt wurde sie vor allem durch praxisnahe, exegetisch angelegte Bibelstudien, die zu persönlicher Christusnachfolge und eigenständigem Schriftstudium anleiten. Während ihre Arbeiten weltweit geschätzt werden, führten ihr Predigtdienst vor gemischten Versammlungen, ihr Engagement für Missbrauchsopfer und ihre Kritik am christlichen Nationalismus zu anhaltenden Kontroversen im konservativen Evangelikalismus und 2021 zum Bruch mit den Südlichen Baptisten.
