List of new churches by Temple Moore

Temple Moore (1856–1920) was an English architect who practised from an office in London. He was born in Tullamore, Ireland, the son of an army officer. He was educated at Glasgow High School, and later privately. In 1875 he was articled to George Gilbert Scott, Jr. Moore established an independent practice in 1878, but continued to work with Scott for some years and completed a number of his commissions.

Moore's designs were mainly in the Gothic Revival style, and although he worked in the later years of that tradition, his "artistic destiny was not to preserve an attenuating tradition but to bring to maturity a development which otherwise would have remained incomplete". Moore was primarily a church architect, designing around 40 new churches and restoring or making alterations and additions to others. He also designed a range of other buildings, including country houses, memorials, schools, parish halls, and a hospital. One of his pupils was Giles Gilbert Scott.

In 1919 Moore's son-in-law, Leslie Moore, became a partner, and he continued the work of the practice after Temple Moore's death at his home in Hampstead in 1920.

This list includes the major new churches designed by Temple Moore: the listed churches recorded in the National Heritage List for England, together with his cathedral in Nairobi, Kenya.
