Gene Taylor (February 10, 1928 – October 27, 1998) was a Republican U.S. representative from Missouri.

He was born near Sarcoxie, Missouri, where Taylor attended local public schools.

From 1954 to 1960, he served as mayor of Sarcoxie, Missouri while starting his automobile dealership which he ran until 1973.

Taylor was first elected to Congress in 1972, defeating future U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft in the primary, and was subsequently re-elected to the seven succeeding congresses, though he was nearly defeated in 1974 and 1982.

The main post office in Springfield, Missouri is named the Gene Taylor Building in the congressman's honor.
