Andre Brown Moore, known as A. Brown Moore or Brownie Moore (August 23, 1911 – 1987), was a lawyer, businessman, and a Democratic politician from his native New Orleans, Louisiana.
Moore attended the independent nondenominational day school, the Isidore Newman School, and in 1934 graduated from Tulane University in New Orleans, presumably with legal credentials in hand at the age of twenty-three. He was a partner in the firm of McCloskey, Moore, and Dennery from 1934 to 1950, when he joined the New Orleans former city commission government. From 1941 to 1946, with two years overseas, he was in active duty as a judge advocate on the staff of United States Army General George S. Patton, Jr. Moore received the Bronze Star and had advanced to the rank of lieutenant colonel at the time of his discharge from the Army.
After 1957, he was a partner in Robert Oil Company and the president of Pan Air Corporation, a company involved with aviation sales and service. He was also the chief executive officer of the Tidelands Life Insurance Company. He was senior warden at Trinity Church, the largest Episcopalian congregation in New Orleans, located at 1329 Jackson Avenue.
