Charles Albert "Chuck" Taylor (January 24, 1920 – May 7, 1994) was an American football player, coach, and college athletics administrator.

During his coaching tenure at Stanford, Taylor compiled a 40–29–2 record and led the Indians to the 1952 Rose Bowl his first season.

That same season, at the age of 31, Taylor was named AFCA Coach of the Year, the youngest recipient of the award ever.

For many years Taylor and his wife also directed a camp for young people in the coastal range of Northern California near Santa Cruz, called Mountain Camp, where hundreds of young people enjoyed two-week sessions with unlimited recreation and character-building activities.
