Moishe Oysher (Yiddish: משה אוישר, (born 1906 in Lipkon (Lipkany), Bessarabia, Imperial Russia – died 27 November 1958, New Rochelle, New York, USA). He was a cantor and a Yiddish theatre actor.
 He was considered one of the most entertaining chazanim (cantors) ever recorded. His Jewish roots could be traced to six generations of chazanim (Cantors). When Moyshe was young, he spent a lot of time with his grandfather and would listen to him sing folk songs and workers' songs to his students.
He told writer Khaver-Paver, that heartfelt tunes were in my blood, and that it arised from his other grandfather "Yosl der poylisher" and his father "Zelik der poylisher" that he inherited his gift as a khasn
(chazan).
