Moses of Alexandria (Μωυσῆς ὁ Ἀλεξανδρεύς) was a physician and astrologer active in Alexandria during the 1st–2nd century CE. Later Byzantine and Arabic sources refer to him as "Moses the Egyptian" or "Moses the Alexandrian" [1]. No specific biographical details are recorded in major classical references.

He is credited with two treatises, now lost in their original Greek. These are a work on astrology or astronomical medicine and a work on toxicology concerning poisons and antidotes [1]. Their contents are known only through fragments and later translations in Syriac, Arabic, and Hebrew.

Moses represents the transmission of Hellenistic science into later Syriac, Arabic, and Hebrew traditions. His significance lies primarily in his subsequent reputation as a named authority in medieval scientific texts, where his name lent antiquity to medical and astrological doctrines [1].
