Peter Antony Moran (born 13 April 1935) is the former Roman Catholic Bishop of the Diocese of Aberdeen, Scotland.
Moran was born in Glasgow. After early schooling in Lanarkshire and East Dunbartonshire, he spent nine years in further primary and then secondary education at St Aloysius' College, Glasgow, a Jesuit day school.
His formal education for the Catholic priesthood began with seven years at the Pontifical Scots College in Rome (1952-1959), where he was ordained priest in 1959, in the chapel of the Spanish College by Bishop Fernández-Conde of Córdoba.
He holds the degrees of Ph.L. and S.T.L. from the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome and is also a graduate of the University of Aberdeen where he received an M.Ed. degree as well as the University of Glasgow where he earned an M.A. (Hons.) degree in Classics.
At the request of his bishop he attended the University of Glasgow to prepare for a teaching post in Blairs College, then the national minor seminary for Scotland. After graduating in 1963 he trained at Jordanhill College of Education and joined the Blairs College staff in 1964, where he remained until 1986.
