Moate (; ) is a town in County Westmeath, Ireland. As of the 2022 census, it had a population of 3,013.
The town's Irish name, An Móta, is derived from the term motte-and-bailey, as the Normans built an example of this type of fortification here. The earthwork is still visible behind the buildings on the main street.
