Ben Moore (born August 7, 1941, Atlanta, Georgia, USA; died May 12, 2022) was an American soul singer. In 1969, he joined the group James & Bobby Purify after Bobby Purify (real name Robert Lee Dickey) retired for health reasons. The group continued to perform using the same name, up until the 1980s.

Ben released a solo album called 'Purified' in 1979. In 1998, he became blind from severe glaucoma and left the music industry. Ray Charles is said to have persuaded him to return to recording. He subsequently released the album 'Better To Have It' in 2005, under the name of Bobby Purify. He has since joined the gospel band The Blind Boys Of Alabama.
