Gary Moore, nome completo Robert William Gary Moore (Belfast, 4 aprile 1952 – Estepona, 6 febbraio 2011), è stato un chitarrista, cantautore e compositore britannico. Durante la sua carriera, iniziata negli anni sessanta, Moore ha collaborato con grandi artisti: Phil Lynott e Brian Downey (in tre separate occasioni all'interno del progetto hard rock irlandese Thin Lizzy), B.B. King, Albert King, i Colosseum II, Greg Lake, gli Skid Row, George Harrison, Trilok Gurtu, , Albert Collins, Jimmy Nail, Mo Foster, Ginger Baker, Jack Bruce, Jim Capaldi, Bob Dylan, , Cozy Powell, Rod Argent, the Beach Boys, Ozzy Osbourne, e Andrew Lloyd Webber. Si esibì come musicista ospite registrando per numerosi progetti, e condusse una lunga carriera solista di successo, iniziata nel 1973, durante la quale sperimentò molti generi: rock, jazz, blues, country, electric blues, hard rock e heavy metal. Nel 1987 partecipò al Ferry Aid, progetto portato avanti da un gruppo di cantanti famosi che si riunì per incidere il singolo contenente la reinterpretazione del brano Let It Be dei Beatles, i cui proventi erano destinati all'aiuto dei parenti delle vittime di un disastro del mare avvenuto a (Belgio), sulla scia di altre operazioni canore benefiche degli anni ottanta (Do They Know It's Christmas? cantata dalla Band Aid nel 1984). L'assolo di chitarra fu suonato da lui e da Mark Knopfler. Nonostante fosse poco popolare in USA, i lavori di Moore ottennero grandi valutazioni da parte della critica di settore e un elevato successo commerciale in gran parte delle altre parti del mondo, specialmente in Europa. Moore è deceduto per un sospetto infarto in una stanza di hotel durante una vacanza a Estepona, Spagna, il 6 febbraio 2011.
