Lou Moore (12 September 1904 Hinton, Oklahoma – 25 March 1956 Atlanta, Georgia) was an American racecar driver, most known during his career for qualifying for the pole position of the 1932 Indianapolis 500. After his driving career, Moore became a legendary car owner. Moore-owned entries won Indy four times, with the final three, from 1947-1949, being the first of to-date two occasions to see three consecutive victories by an owner.
Lou Moore was also of Cherokee heritage and descent.
