Kellyn Taylor (née Johnson; born July 22, 1986) is an American long distance runner.

Kellyn graduated from Sussex Hamilton High School in Wisconsin where she was a state 1600 meter champion as a senior.

Kellyn earned District Runner of the Year honors and was a four-year Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association state qualifier in both cross country and track.

She ran everything from the 4X400 relay clear up the longest distance races like the 5,000-meter," said Cloud County head women's track coach, Ted Schmitz.

[12][13] Kellyn Taylor placed fourth in 10,000 m behind Molly Huddle, Emily Infeld, and Marielle Hall at 2016 United States Olympic Trials (track and field) and was an alternate to represent  United States at Athletics at the 2016 Summer Olympics.

She stayed in a lead pack for more than half the race, but Aliphine Tuliamuk and Molly Seidel pulled away and went first and second, respectively.

The summer was one of the hottest ever experienced on the West Coast, and on a hot track, Taylor held pace with the leaders, but couldn't stay up front as Emily Sisson stretched out the pack.
