Moffit is an unincorporated rural hamlet in Burleigh County, North Dakota, United States. [1] It lies along US 83, 10 miles south of Sterling. The population in 2017 was estimated to be less than 30.

The post office at Moffit has been in operation since 1906. [2] The community's name honors a family of settlers. [3] In the early 2010s one of the last business buildings left on main street was stripped and torn down for unknown reasons. There is also another building on main street of unknown origin that, in 2017, the front was cut into and it was turned into a storage building.
