Stanley Moss (born June 21, 1925) is an American poet, publisher, and art dealer.
Moss was born in Woodhaven, New York on June 21, 1925. His father was a high school principal. The family was non-religious, but occasionally celebrated Jewish holidays. A tour of Southern Europe and the Middle East at the age of eight, described in the essay "Satyr Song," greatly impacted Moss, exposing him to European painting, Levantine culture, and geopolitics.

He is the author of five other books of poems: The Skull of Adam (1979), The Intelligence of Clouds (1989), Asleep in the Garden (1997), A History of Color (2003), New & Selected Poems 2006 , and God Breaketh Not All Men's Hearts Alike: New & Later Collected Poems (2011) .
