Der moidore ist eine Portugiesische Goldmünze, die zwischen 1640 und 1732 geprägt wurde.
Der Moidore wurde in Westeuropa, Westindien und teilweise auch auf Barbados als Währung verwendet. Der Name moidore ist aus dem Portugiesischen moeda de ouro abgeleitet, was so viel wie „Geld aus Gold“ oder "Münze aus Gold" bedeutet.
