Recent advances in creating moiré periods of two-dimensional heterostructures enable diverse and compatible tunability to modulate the conventional proximity effect involving superconductivity, magnetism, and topology. Here, by constructing a MnTe/NbSe2 heterojunction via molecular beam epitaxy growth, we report on a moiré-enhanced multiband superconductivity by low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy measurements. We observe a distinct double-gap superconducting spectrum on monolayer MnTe that is absent on the NbSe2 substrate. The subgap character exhibits a moiré-related oscillation in real space, which can be well described by an effective two-band model. The restored two-gap feature and its rapid suppression under a small magnetic field are speculated to be mediated by the moiré superlattice, which is closely related to the enhanced interband coupling strength of quasiparticle scattering. Our work paves the way for engineering proximitized properties of heterostructures by a moiré landscape with spatial modulations.
