Charles Robert "Charlie" Moore (July 18, 1934 – June 23, 2014) was an American Methodist minister, social justice and anti-racist activist. Moore drew attention to himself when he self-immolated in the East Texas town of Grand Saline, an event that became the subject of the 2018 documentary Man on Fire. He also drew attention to how the United Methodist Church (UMC) treated gays and lesbians by going on a hunger strike years earlier. He had aligned himself with several progressive, liberal and left-leaning causes throughout his life, leaving behind a typed letter urging the community of Grand Saline and the United States to repent for its racism.
