Duke Moore, (July 15, 1913 as James Moore – November 16, 1976), was an American actor who has the distinction of spending his entire on-screen career in productions by Ed Wood.

Between 1953 and 1970, Moore appeared in the following for Wood:

• Crossroads of Laredo
• Final Curtain
• Plan 9 from Outer Space (1957)
• Night of the Ghouls (1958)
• The Sinister Urge (1960)
• Take it Out in Trade (1970)

Moore also received a posthumous addition to his oeuvre when outtake footage to Take it out in Trade was found in a projectionist's booth in a pornographic theater in California and subsequently released on video in "as is" form. This footage can be seen in Take it Out in Trade: The Outtakes.

Duke died in Hollywood in 1976 of a heart attack. He was 63.
