Moses of Bergamo[1] was a twelfth-century Italian poet and translator. He spent time in Constantinople, where he was one of the first Western Europeans to be interested in collecting Greek language manuscripts.[2]

He is known for his Liber Pergamensis, a description of Bergamo in Latin verse. It is the earliest surviving example of a genre: the patriotic description of a medieval commune.
