Werner Eugen Emil Mosse (* 5. Februar 1918 in Berlin; † 30. April 2001) was a British historian of German origin.
From 1948 to 1952 he was a lecturer in modern Russian history at the UCL School of Slavonic and East European Studies and received his PhD in 1950 under Herbert Butterfield. From 1952 to 1964 he was a senior lecturer in Eastern European history at the University of Glasgow. From then on he was professor of European history at the University of East Anglia in Norwich and thus one of its founding fathers. He was a fellow of the Royal Historical Society.
Mosse initially focused primarily on Russian and Soviet history, the history of the European bourgeoisie in the 19th century from a comparative perspective and the history of liberalism. Only later did he turn his attention to the history of German Jewry in the 19th and 20th centuries, particularly its economic elite, from which he himself came. For many years he served as chairman of the advisory board of the Leo Baeck Institute London and edited important anthologies on recent German-Jewish history.
In memory of her brother, Barbara Mosse founded a postgraduate scholarship (Werner Mosse awards) at the School of History at the University of East Anglia in 2002.
