Moses Bensinger (August 17, 1839 – October 14, 1904) was an American merchant and manufacturer. He was president of the Brunswick-Balke-Collender Company from 1890 until his death in 1904. He was the instigator and organizer of the conglomerate of the manufacturer of billiard and pool tables when it was initially formed in 1884. The manufacture of bowling equipment as an additional business came about in 1888. He helped found the American Bowling Congress, which set in place a legislative body to establish the rules and regulations used in modern ten-pin bowling. It is a set of by-laws and a constitution of Articles for all in the United States to follow. It has since been incorporated into the United States Bowling Congress and going into the twenty-first century governs all bowling equipment to make as a common standard. He was also an innovator of billiard table design and manufacture leading to significant patents for rubber bumpers and other innovations related to the game. He was involved in setting up tournaments for establishments that used his billiard tables that he manufactured.
