'''Moses Hart''' (November 26, 1768 – October 15, 1852) was a Canadian businessman and [seigneur](/source/Seigneurial_system_of_New_France), eldest son of [Aaron Hart](/source/Aaron_Hart_(businessman)).

==Biography==
Moses Hart was born in [Trois-Rivières](/source/Trois-Rivi%C3%A8res) to [Aaron Hart](/source/Aaron_Hart_(businessman)) and Dorothea Judah.

He was an unsuccessful candidate for the [Legislative Assembly of Lower Canada](/source/Legislative_Assembly_of_Lower_Canada), attempting to follow in the footsteps of his brother [Ezekiel](/source/Ezekiel_Hart).

He invested in banks and had a successful business career, particularly in the shipping business. In 1824, he bought one ship, the ''Telegraph'', from [John Molson](/source/John_Molson), and in 1833 he jointly invested with [John Miller](/source/John_Miller_(shipowner)) to buy the ''Lady Aylmer''. He gave his share of the latter ship to his adopted son Alexander Thomas Hart, but Miller and the son had a falling-out.  He continued in the shipping business with his son Alexander Thomas and with his nephew Ira Craig Hart.
