'''John Moreno Coe''' (1897?-[[1896]]–[[1973]]) was a Pensacola attorney and civil libertarian prominent during the mid-twentieth century.
In [[1924]] he was appointed to fill the state senate term of [[John P. Stokes]], who moved to Miami shortly after his election. Coe was defeated in the [[1926]] reelection campaign, in part because of his opposition to a "Bible bill," which would have required the daily reading of King James scripture in Florida public classrooms, and a bill that would have given broad "search and seizure" latitude to state law enforcement agencies.
