Slomon William Moody (February 16, 1834 – March 20, 1898), also known as S. W. Moody, Sloman Moody, or Dr. Moody, was a physician, farmer, and city treasurer of Ocala, Florida. Slomon was one of Ocala's first physicians and settlers of the town. He is also the father of Maxey Dell Moody who founded the oldest family owned construction equipment business in the United States, M. D. Moody & Sons, Inc.
According to the Ocala Evening Star, Moody was "one of the landmarks of Ocala" and "one of Ocala's best physicians of the years gone by." The Palatka Eastern Herald also said when Moody was living in Palatka that he "is the most valuable acquisition, both as a citizen, a physician, and a business man Palatka has had since the surrender of the Confederacy.
