Maurice Moscovitch (November 23, 1871 Odessa-June 18, 1940 Los Angeles) also known as Morris Maaskov or Maurice Moscovich was a Russian actor. He had one child, Noel Madison.

Maurice Moscovitch began his career in the Yiddish theater in New York City before transitioning to mainstream American theater and eventually, film. He appeared in over 70 films during the silent era, including notable roles in "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" (1923) and "The Phantom of the Opera" (1925). Moscovitch continued to work in films during the transition to sound, including several films with Warner Bros. in the 1930s. Outside of his film work, he was also known for his stage performances and received critical acclaim for his lead role in the play "Jacobowsky and the Colonel" in 1940. Tragically, Moscovitch died later that year due to complications from surgery.
