Moses Mendes da Costa (died 1747), also called Anthony da Costa, was an English banker. In 1727, Costa brought an action against the Russia Company, which refused to admit him to membership on the ground of his being a Jew. The attorney-general decided that he must be admitted, whereupon the company petitioned Parliament to modify the former's charter so as to give it the right of refusal. rdf:langString
