Merrill M. Moses[1] (born August 13, 1977) is an American water polo player.

Moses is Jewish[2] and was born in Harbor City, California.[3] He was a goalkeeper on the United States men's national water polo team at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.[4][5] In the championship game, the USA team won the silver medal, defeated by Hungary. He was named to the Olympic all-star team.[6]

In December 2010, Moses' silver medal was stolen by thieves when his parents' house was burglarized. The thieves also stole both a ring and a watch that he had been given by the US Olympic Committee.[5][6][7]
