Recently, moir\'e superlattices have been found on the surface of topological insulators due to the rotational misalignment of topmost layers. In this work, we study the effects of moir\'e superlattices on the Landau levels of topological surface states. We find that an extra Zeeman term besides the intrinsic one can be induced by the orbital effect of the magnetic field in moir\'e surface states. As a result, the originally field-independent zeroth Landau level of moir\'e surface states could be tilted by the out-of-plane magnetic field.
