Moraxella è un genere di batteri Gram-negativi della famiglia delle Moraxellaceae che prende il nome dall'oftalmologo svizzero Victor Morax. Morfologicamente si presentano come corti bacilli o disposti in corte catene o in coppie. Sono ossidasi e catalasi positivi ed aerobi obbligati. La classificazione di questi batteri è molto complessa e cambia spesso.Le principali specie sono M.lacunata, M.phenylpiruvica, M.osloensis, M.nonliquefaciens e M. urethralis. Questi ultimi due possono essere confusi con Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
