Moss is an unincorporated community in Jasper County, Mississippi.
Moss is located on the former Gulf, Mobile and Ohio Railroad. The community is named for Captain B. F. Moss. The railroad stop was known as Mossville, but the post office was known as Moss. Moss was formerly home to two general stores.[1]

On April 12, 2020, nearly every structure in town was damaged and numerous homes were destroyed when a large, violent EF4 tornado moved directly through town.[3] The path of the tornado mirrored that of a long-tracked F3 tornado that struck the south side of town on April 21, 1951, also causing severe damage.[4] [5]
