Ronald D. Moore (born 1964 in Chowchilla, California) is a television producer who is currently executive producer of the new Battlestar Galactica series.

Moore graduated with a B.A. in Political science from Cornell University.

Star Trek: The Next Generation

In 1989 he sold a spec script to Star Trek: The Next Generation that became the episode third season episode The Bonding. Based on the script he was offered a staff position as a script editor. Two years later he was promoted to co-producer, then producer for the series final year (1994). During this time he was credited with writing or co-writing 27 episodes. A number of times he co-wrote episodes with Brannon Braga, developing a successful working relationship that lead to them being offered the chance to write the series television finale, All Good Things..., and the Next Generation crew's first big screen appearance, Star Trek: Generations. For the All Good Things . . . script they won a Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

Moore then joined the production staff of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine for its third season as a supervising producer, being promoted to a co-executive producer position for the series final two years. During this time he also worked again with Braga on the script for the second Next Generation motion picture, Star Trek: First Contact and on a draft of the Mission: Impossible II script that was re-written by Robert Towne for which they received a Story By credit.

Star Trek: Voyager

With the end of Deep Space Nine in 1999, Moore transferred over to the production staff of Star Trek: Voyager where his writing partner Braga was executive producer. However Moore left Voyager only a matter of weeks after joining the staff citing problems in his working relationship with Braga: I have very hurt feelings about Brannon. What happened between he and I is just between he and I. It was a breakdown of trust. I would have quit any show where I was not allowed to participate in the process like that. I wasn’t allowed to participate in the process, and I wasn’t part of the show. I felt like I was freelancing my own show. ... I was very disappointed that my long-time friend and writing partner acted in that manner, that crossed lines to the point where I felt like I had to walk away from STAR TREK, which was something that meant a lot to me for a very long time, from my childhood right through my entire professional career.

Roswell

After leaving Voyager Moore briefly worked as a consulting producer on Good vs Evil before joining the production staff of Roswell (TV series) at the start of its second series. Moore replaced Roswell creator, Jason Katims, for the series final year.

Battlestar Galactica

At the end of 2002, Moore was given the job of bringing Battlestar Galactica (2003) back onto the air. The ratings for the mini-series were good enough that a series was commissioned, which debuted in October 2004 in the United Kingdom and will debut in the United States in January 2005.

Personal life

Moore is married with a son.
