Moira Forsyth (1905–1991) was an English stained glass artist. Her father was Gordon Forsyth a Scottish ceramics designer, stained glass artist and teacher. They both made impressive works for the St. Joseph's Church in Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire. She made her name for her stained glass works, such as those found at Guildford Cathedral, Norwich Cathedral and Eton College Chapel.

Most of her work life centered on The Glass House studio in Fulham in Greater London with other artists, such as Wilhelmina Geddes, Mary Lowndes and Alfred J. Drury. She also made and exhibited ceramics and created a large ceiling mural for the St Joseph's Catholic Church in Burslem, Staffordshire.

Moira Forsyth was born in 1905 in Stafford, Staffordshire to Gordon Forsyth. Her father's career took the family to the Manchester area by 1911, although they returned to Staffordshire after the First World War.

After training and her professional career in Stoke-on-Trent and London, Forsyth moved to Farnham, Surrey. She was initially trained in pottery and taught it, as well as making murals, but she was primarily known for her stained glass designs and work. She worked in the Ministry of Town and Country Planning during the years of World War II. She died in April 1991. Her requiem was held at Farnham's St Joan of Arc Church where Forsyth was a member.
