August Fryderyk Moszyński (25 January 1731 – 11 June 1786) was Great Pantler of the Kingdom of Poland, collector, economist and freemason.

Moszyński was born in Dresden to Jan Kanty Moszyński, the Under Treasurer of August II the Strong, and Fredericka Alexandrine Cosel, the daughter of the same king.
