Peter Moores (born 18 December 1962) is an English former cricketer who is currently the head coach of Nottinghamshire.

Moores played as a wicketkeeper for Worcestershire and Sussex, the latter of whom he captained in 1997. He retired from playing first-class cricket in 1998 and became a successful coach of Sussex, leading the county to promotion from Division Two in 2001, and then to the County Championship title in both 2003 and 2006.

Moores coached England "A" on their tour of the West Indies in 2000/01, and the English National Cricket Academy between 2005 and 2007. He was appointed coach of the full England team in April 2007.

In January 2009, Moores was removed as coach following a public falling out with Kevin Pietersen, who also left his position as England captain.

He went on to become the coach of Lancashire in February 2009, leading the side to their first Championship title in 77 years in 2011. In doing so, Moores became the only coach to have won the Championship with two different counties.

In 2014, Moores was re-appointed to coach the England national men's team, serving until shortly after the 2015 World Cup.

In September 2016, after working as a coaching consultant with the county for a year, Moores was appointed as head coach of Nottinghamshire. Under his leadership, the Outlaws won the T20 Blast in 2017 and 2020, as well as the 2017 One-Day Cup.

In December 2021, he was appointed as Karachi Kings head coach for PSL 7, and in March 2023, he was named as head coach of Big Bash League side Melbourne Stars on a two-year contract.
