Louis Tebugo Moholo, born in Cape Town on 10 March 1940, is a South African jazz drummer.

He joined Chris McGregor's Blue Notes, and emigrated to Europe with them in 1964, eventually settling in London, where he formed part of a South African exile community that made an important contribution to British jazz. He was a member of "Brotherhood of Breath," a big band comprising several South African exiles and leading musicians of the British free jazz scene in the seventies and is the founder of "Viva-La-Black" and the "Dedication Orchestra."

Moholo has played with many musicians, including Derek Bailey, Steve Lacy, Evan Parker, Enrico Rava, Roswell Rudd, Irene Schweizer, Cecil Taylor, John Tchicai, Archie Shepp, Peter Brötzmann, and Keith Tippett.

Moholo returned to South Africa in September 2005, performing with George Lewis at the UNYAZI Festival of Electronic Music in Johannesburg.
