John Coleman Moore (May 27, 1923 – January 1, 2016) was an American mathematician. The Borel−Moore homology and Eilenberg–Moore spectral sequence are named after him.
Moore was born in 1923 in Staten Island, New York and received his Ph.D. in 1952 from Brown University under the supervision of George W. Whitehead. His most heavily cited paper is on Hopf algebras, co-authored with John Milnor. As a faculty member at Princeton University, he advised 23 students and is the academic ancestor of 582 mathematicians. He was an Invited Speaker at the ICM in 1958 in Edinburgh and in 1970 in Nice.
In 1983, a conference on K-theory was held at Princeton in honor of his 60th birthday. In 2012 he became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society. He died in 2016 at the age of 92.
