Nicholas A. Moore (born June 25, 1986) is a former professional Canadian football wide receiver who played for seven years in the Canadian Football League (CFL) with the BC Lions and Winnipeg Blue Bombers. He was originally signed by the Minnesota Vikings as an undrafted free agent in 2009. He played college football at Toledo.

Moore has also been a member of the New England Patriots, St. Louis Rams, and Florida Tuskers. He is the brother of former NFL wide receiver Lance Moore.

Moore attended Westerville South High School in Westerville, Ohio, where he played football as a wide receiver, as well as basketball and track and field. In football, he had 55 receptions and 12 touchdowns as a senior and was named team MVP. He was selected to play in the Big 33 Football Classic (Ohio vs. Pennsylvania) and was a second-team all-district pick. He was an honorable mention all-district selection as a junior.

After graduating from high school, Moore attended the University of Toledo. After redshirting his freshman season in 2004, Moore started 10 of 11 games as a sophomore and was fourth on team with 24 receptions and third with 335 yards receiving. He also caught four touchdowns and led team with 14.0 yards per catch. As a junior, Moore started in eight games, missing two to injury, and was fourth on team with 20 receptions in 10 games. As a junior in 2007, Moore ranked second on his team with 60 receptions for 731 yards. He was named third-team All-MAC. As a senior, Moore played in and started 5 games, catching 78 passes for 779 yards.

Moore was signed by the Minnesota Vikings after going undrafted in the 2009 NFL draft. He was waived by the team on September 5, 2009, and re-signed to the team's practice squad the next day. He was released from the Vikings' practice squad on September 29, 2009.
