Tom Taylor (25 May 1878 – 16 March 1960) was an English amateur first-class cricketer, who played for Yorkshire during its successful period under Lord Hawke between 1900 and 1902.
Taylor was a noted amateur batsman, who retired early as he needed to devote his time to his engineering business after the 1902 season. It is likely that Taylor would have received England honours had he been able to keep up the game, for he was chosen as 12th man in the rain-ruined Lord's Test match in 1902.
Taylor was a fleet-footed and extremely sound middle order batsman, who was especially strong against slow bowling on the many difficult pitches experienced in Yorkshire.
Against fast bowling he was not as certain.
