Brice Union Taylor (July 4, 1902 – September 18, 1974) was an American football player, coach and track athlete.

Although he was born without a left hand, Taylor showed his athletic prowess while growing up in Seattle, Washington and played football at Franklin High School.

In 1925, Howard Jones became the new head football coach and moved Taylor to offensive and defensive line and kicker.

Taylor was also a sprinter, hurdler and relay runner on the USC track team that won the IC4A meet at the University of Pennsylvania.

While a football coach at Jefferson High School, he began a weekend program for students at the high school by opening the gym on Saturdays as well as hosting Sports Nights during the week, offering an opportunity for students to participate in sports activities and games while keeping them off the streets in Central Los Angeles.

In 1969, Governor Ronald Reagan appointed him to be the Director of Head Start within the Office of Economic Opportunity (OEO) in California.
