Macrozamia moorei is a cycad in the family Zamiaceae, native to Queensland (Australia).

It is the tallest-growing species of Macrozamia, growing to 7 m tall with a trunk 50-80 cm diameter. It has keeled leaves up to 2.5 m long, with short petioles bearing numerous spines, and 120-220 leaflets, each leaflet 20-35 cm long and 5-10 mm broad.

The species was described by Ferdinand von Mueller in 1881, naming it after Charles Moore (1820-1905), director of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Sydney.
