Ronnie Moore MBE (born 8 March 1933 in Hobart, Tasmania) is a former international Speedway rider. His family moved to New Zealand when he was still a child and although Moore was born in Australia, he has always considered himself to be a New Zealander.

Ronnie began riding at the Aranui Speedway in Christchurch, New Zealand in 1949 at the age of 15. He moved to England and rode for the Wimbledon Dons from 1950 to 1956. In 1957 and 1958 he switched his attention to motor racing, but returned to ride for the Dons in late 1958 and stayed with them until 1963 when he decided to retire from racing after breaking his leg in a track crash. He began riding again in New Zealand in the mid 1960s and made a comeback with Wimbledon in 1969 and reached the World Final at the age of thirty-six. In 1970 he won the World Pairs Championship with Ivan Mauger. He retired from racing in the British League at the end of 1972 but continued riding speedway until 1975 when he suffered severe head injuries in a crash at Jerilderie Park Speedway in New South Wales
Moore won the New Zealand Championship in 1956, 1962, 1968 and 1969.

World Individual ChampionshipIn 1950 at the age of 17, Ronnie was the youngest rider ever to qualify for the final of the Speedway World Championship. He won the championship in 1954 and again in 1959. Ronnie also finished runner up on three further occasions. His first win was all the more notable given the facts that he was still only twenty-one years of age, that he was riding with a broken leg and that he won with a maximum score.[
