Alfred Patrick Caldwell Moore , conocido como Patrick Moore, fue un astrónomo amateur inglés que alcanzó una alta posición en la astronomía como escritor, investigador, divulgador y presentador de televisión de la materia, y logró que aumentara el interés del público general británico por la astronomía. Fue autor de unos setenta libros sobre astronomía, presentador de la popular serie de la BBC The Sky at Night y una figura conocida de la televisión británica, presentando, por ejemplo, el programa televisivo GamesMaster. Tuvo fama de excéntrico, por su peculiar forma de hablar, su monóculo de marca registrada y su pasión por el xilófono.
