Théodore Moret, also known as Moretus (born in 1602 in Antwerp - died in 1667 in Breslau) was a Belgian mathematician and Jesuit. He spent most of his working life in Prague, in the Czech Republic.
Moretus is the author of the first mathematical dissertations ever defended in Prague. Moretus' scientific diaries containing technical notes and drafts as well as his correspondence with pre-eminent European scholars of that time (Kircher, Conrad, Riccioli etc.) are preserved in the National Library of the Czech Republic.
He has a lunar crater named after him - the Moretus crater.
