Robert Lindsay "Bob" Moses (26 July 1940[2] – 21 December 2017)[3] was an Australian rugby league footballer of the 1960s and 1970s. He was a dual premiership winning player at the South Sydney Rabbitohs.

Bob Moses originated from Newcastle, New South Wales, and signed with South Sydney Rabbitohs in 1965. He played in the 1965 Grand Final for Souths, but they were defeated by St George Dragons 12-8. He went on to play six seasons with South Sydney between 1965-1970. He played in three more grand finals for Souths, winning the 1967 Grand Final and 1968 Grand Final and played in the 1969 Grand Final loss to Balmain Tigers. By 1970 he was in reserve grade and his Souths career was over. He moved to Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles for three seasons between 1971-1973 but injury curtailed his career at Manly. He did not feature in any other Grand Finals before retiring.[4]

He later became a successful publican in the Penrith area.[5] Moses death was announced on 21 December 2017.[6][7]
