Moray, or Morayshire or Elginshire (Moireibh in Gaelic) is one of the registration counties of Scotland, bordering Nairnshire to the west, Inverness-shire to the south, and Banffshire to the east. The county town was Elgin. It was also in use as a county of Scotland for general administrative purposes until 1975.

There were two large detached portions of Morayshire situated locally in Inverness-shire, and a corresponding part of Inverness-shire situated locally in Morayshire. With the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1889 these parts were merged into the county in which they locally lay. The county shown was officially called Elginshire, sharing the name of the Elginshire parliamentary constituency, so named since 1708.

Morayshire is also that name of a registration county for property, and a slightly smaller area is a Lieutenancy Area named Moray. This area consists almost exactly of the rump of the traditional county, without its exclaves in Inverness-shire.
