Elizabeth Madge Taylor (née Forbes; 27 December 1916 – 29 August 2002) was a New Zealand track and field athlete who competed at the 1938 British Empire Games, where she won the bronze medal in the women's high jump.

[2] Forbes came to national attention in 1933, when her application for the New Zealand women's high jump record, with a jump of 4 ft 8+3⁄4 in (1.44 m) was declined as the certificates were not received in time by the Council of the New Zealand Amateur Athletics Association (NZAAA).

[7] At the national trials in December 1937 for the New Zealand team to compete at the 1938 British Empire Games, Forbes increased her national mark by 1⁄16 in (0.2 cm), recording a height of 5 ft 1⁄4 in (1.53 m),[8] and she was subsequently confirmed in the team for the games in Sydney.

[9] At those games, Forbes won the bronze medal in the women's high jump, with a height of 5 ft 2 in (1.57 m), 1 inch (2.5 cm) behind the gold medal winner, Dorothy Odam from England.

[10] Forbes went on to win the New Zealand national high jump title in 1939, 1940 and 1941.
