Jackie Moore (1946 – November 8, 2019) was an American R&B singer. Moore was born in Jacksonville, Florida. She achieved a gold single for the 1970 song "Precious, Precious," which reached No. 30 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart on March 6, 1971. This disc sold over one million copies, and received the gold certification from the R.I.A.A. in March 1971.

Also noteworthy was her 1979 disco single "This Time Baby," which peaked at No. 49 on the UK Singles Chart and hit No. 1 on the US Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart. The song would later be sampled for the 2005 dance radio and dance chart hit "Love on My Mind" by the Freemasons featuring Amanda Wilson. Moore also had a moderate US pop chart hit (No. 42) with Bunny Sigler and Phil Hurtt's upbeat "Sweet Charlie Babe" in the fall of 1973, which she recorded with the Philadelphia Strings and Horns.
