Mark Moore (born February 13, 1977) is a Canadian retired professional ice hockey defenseman. He was drafted and signed by the Pittsburgh Penguins of the NHL, and played 115 games in the ECHL and an additional 15 games in the American Hockey League.
Moore was drafted by the Pittsburgh Penguins in the seventh round of the 1997 NHL Entry Draft, selected 179th overall. At the time, Moore was a member of the Harvard Crimson men's ice hockey team. During his senior year, Moore and his two younger brothers Steve and Dominic were all members of the Harvard hockey team, with both younger brothers finishing the season as the top two scorers on the team. The three brothers were the first fraternal trio to skate for the Harvard Crimson and only the sixth fraternal trio in NCAA history to skate on the same team.
Upon graduating from Harvard, Moore signed an NHL player contract with the Pittsburgh Penguins. He attended the Penguins' training camp and was eventually assigned to their ECHL affiliate in Wheeling. Although Moore was not known for his scoring (he averaged 5 points per season while at Harvard), he scored 22 points in 66 games during the 2001-02 ECHL season. Moore split his time between the Nailers and the Augusta Lynx in his final season, during which he was injured.
After missing almost a year, Moore turned down a tryout with the NHL's Montreal Canadiens in September 2003 due to not receiving clearance to play from his doctors. Several months later, Moore's brother Steve would be forced into retirement due to a vicious hit from then-Vancouver Canucks forward Todd Bertuzzi.
