Moritz Cohn (8 January 1844 – after 1907), also known by the pseudonym Conimor, was a Prussian-born playwright, poet, and novelist, as well as a prolific contributor to the press.

Cohn was born into a Jewish family in Kreuzburg, Silesia, and educated at the gymnasium of Brieg. He began life as a clerk in a merchant's office in Breslau, devoting his spare time to writing. He later worked at his brother's banking business in Görlitz, with whom he also participated in railroad construction.

After some of his plays had met with success, Cohn abandoned commerce and in 1875 settled down in Vienna as an author.
