Sir George Moore (1709-1787) of Ballamoore, near Peel, was a Manx merchant and Speaker of the House of Keys. He led the Keys' efforts to obtain better terms for Manx commerce after the 1765 Revestment, and it was largely due to his exertions that the intention of annexing the Island to Cumberland was not carried out. He was knighted in 1781, one of the first Manxmen to receive that honour.
