Peter Laurence Taylor (born 22 August 1956) is a former Australian cricketer who played in 13 Test matches and 83 One Day Internationals between 1987 and 1992.

It was initially thought that his more known New South Wales colleague Mark Taylor had been selected.

However Taylor became the staple spin-bowler of the Australian One Day team of the late 1980s and early 1990s.

Taylor was noted for his deliberate approach to the wicket and the rhythmical nature of his bowling action that involved him first swinging his bowling arm, joining hands as he swung forwards then completing a loop of his joined hands before delivering the ball.

He was noted as a heavy spinner of a cricket ball and comparisons were made with Ashley Mallett, also a former Australian spin bowler.
