Douglas Dewayne Moseley, known as Doug Moseley (born March 24, 1928), is a retired United Methodist minister and author who served as a Republican member of the Kentucky State Senate from 1974 to 1986. The Senate district included the eight counties of Adair, Clinton, Cumberland, Green, Metcalfe, Russell, Taylor and Wayne and at times Casey and a part of McCreary counties.
Moseley was born in Bowling Green, the seat of Warren County in western Kentucky of J Lee Moseley (1904–1968) and Eva Lottie Moore (1907–1976). J Lee Moseley (The "J" stood for nothing) was a teacher in the Boyce community, and the Moseleys originally lived in a tenant farm house on land originally owned by Doug Moseley's great-grandfather. Doug also has a sister, Barbara Moseley who married Bob Cockrum.
Moseley graduated in 1945 from Bowling Green High School. He is one of three members from that class inducted into the school's "Hall of Honor". He began his higher education at Western Kentucky University in Bowling Green but transferred for his senior year to Kentucky Wesleyan College in Owensboro, from which he graduated in 1952.
