Mosco de Siracusa (Μόσχος, Siracusa, de Sicilia, siglo II a. C.) fue un poeta pastoril griego. Según Suidas, fue discípulo de Aristarco de Samotracia, y por su estilo y temática bucólica fue seguidor e imitador de Teócrito. Mosco floreció en torno al año 150 a. C. (Teócrito murió en el 260). A Mosco lo evoca Ateneo, y Juan Estobeo lo recuerda en sus Florilegios, atribuyéndole tres cortos poemas de inspiración bucólica que se titulan igual que los de Teócrito, Idilios,​ y el epigrama Eros al arado. Entre los Idilios, se cuentan el poema mitológico Europa (que narra el rapto de esa ninfa por Zeus convertido en toro),​ Eros fugitivo,​ Megara (sobre el personaje homónimo, primera mujer de Heracles)​ y Lamento por la muerte de Bión (treno por el poeta Bión de Esmirna).​ En la Antología Palatina, se atribuye a Mosco de Siracusa el Ruego de Amor.​
