Gil Moore is a Canadian musician. Born in Toronto, Moore was the drummer and vocalist (sharing vocal duties with guitarist/vocalist Rik Emmett) of the Canadian power trio Triumph. Before Moore was in Triumph he was in a band called Sherman & Peabody which also featured Buzz Shearman of Moxy and Greg Godovitz of Goddo.

He co-wrote and contributed lead vocals to a number of Triumph songs and also performed this function live. While Emmett's vocals and songwriting tended toward the more melodic side of Triumph, Moore's vocal and writing style was more blues/hard rock oriented, although on the original line-up's last two albums, Moore also began writing and singing lead on a number of softer, ballad-style songs.

Moore is the owner of Canada's biggest recording studio Metalworks Studios, located in Mississauga, Ontario. The studio has been around for over 30 years and has recorded acts such as Drake, Guns N' Roses, Aerosmith, Katy Perry, Black Eyed Peas, Jonas Brothers and many more. On October 3, 2002, Moore was presented with the Business and the Arts Award from the Mississauga Board of Trade in recognition of 'Outstanding Contribution to the Arts Community of Mississauga'.^{[1][better source needed]} Moore is a recipient of the Mississauga Arts Council's Laurie Pallett Patron of the Arts MARTY Award (2015), the Mississauga Board of Trade Lifetime Achievement Award (2016), and Heritage Mississauga's President's Award (2019).
