Nathaniel Fish Moore (December 25, 1782 – April 27, 1872)[1] was the eighth president of Columbia College; he had earlier been a lawyer and served on the faculty. He was the nephew of the college's former president Benjamin Moore.

In 1820, Moore began his career at Columbia College as a professor of Greek and Latin. He was appointed the first full-time Librarian of the College in 1838. Four years later, Moore was elected the eighth president of the college, resigning under unremarkable circumstances in 1849.[2]
