Moses Elias Kiley (November 13, 1876 – April 15, 1953) was a Canadian-born prelate of the Roman Catholic Church. He served as the bishop of the Diocese of Trenton, New Jersey (1934–40) and the Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee, Wisconsin (1940–53).
Moses Kiley was born in Margaree, on Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia, to John and Margaret (née McGarry) Kiley. He received his early education at a grade school in Baddeck, and moved to Somerville, Massachusetts, at age 16. He earned money to finance his higher education by working as an errand boy at a carriage shop in Somerville which his older brothers had established. He also worked as a floorwalker at a department store in Boston and as a trolley motorman.
In 1903, Kiley enrolled at the College of St. Laurent in Montreal, Quebec. After three years in Montreal, he began his studies for the priesthood at St. Mary's Seminary in Baltimore, Maryland, in 1906. The following year he was sent to continue his studies in Rome, where he resided at the Pontifical North American College. He earned a doctorate in philosophy from the University of St. Thomas in 1909, and a doctorate in theology from the Propaganda University in 1911.
