Maurice "Mo" Edward Cheeks (born September 8, 1956, in Chicago, Illinois) is a retired American professional basketball player. He was the head coach of the Philadelphia 76ers of the National Basketball Association, having been hired on May 23, 2005 and fired on Dec 13, 2008 after the Philadelphia 76ers had a bad start in the 2008-09 season when their offseason contract with Elton Brand was supposed to be a blockbuster trade. Instead, the 76ers struggled and Cheeks had to pay for it. He was head coach of the Portland Trail Blazers from the start of the 2001-02 season until March 2, 2005, when he was fired from the position.
