Rabbi Moshe Kunitz (sometimes: Kunitzer; 5534, 1774 – 27th of Shevat 5597, February 2, 1837) was the rabbi of Óbuda, Hungary, and a researcher of Jewish history. He was known primarily for his book "Ben Yochai" which argued for attributing the Zohar to Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai, as a response to the book "Mitpachat Sefarim" written by Rabbi Jacob Emden, who rejected this attribution.
