Aristeidis Moschos (Greek: Αριστείδης Μόσχος; 1930 – 8 November 2001) was aGreek player and teacher of the musical instrument known as thesantouri.

Moschos was born inAgrinio, a city in theAitoloakarnania district. He was the fifth in a family of ten children, and his family was originally from the village of Pentalofos nearAgrinio. His father owned a large amount of land in the region which he sold, then moved to Agrinio with his family, and opened two coffee houses.

In one of the coffee houses, musicians fromConstantinople,Smyrna, andArmenia used to perform, while the other had a European orchestra. His father was gifted with aclarino player that he used to play traditional Greek as well as other European music, and his brother played the violin. The family's cafés were visited by some of the most prominent 20th-century Greek musicians, includingRita Abatzi,Marika Politissa, andRoza Eskenazi. Aristidis Moschos first heard thesantouri played by a Romanian musical group and came to love the instrument.

Moschos' first teacher was a member of the Romanian group, Nestoras Batsi. He quickly learned how to play and started appearing in his father's coffee houses. AfterWorld War II, he leftAgrinio and went toAthens where he attended the Greek Lyceum.

Moschos toured all over the world with the Lyceum and collaborated with many singers, musicians, and actors. He made many radio and television broadcasts of modern and folk music. He also released fifteen records, of which three became gold and two became platinum. In addition, he participated as a soloist in around 150 other records.

In 1985, Moschos ran the Traditional Music People's School which functioned as a nonprofit company, where he taught several musical instruments as well asByzantine Music. He was honoured by several municipalities and organizations as well as theGreek Parliament.

Moschos died on 8 November 2001.
