Thomas (Tom) Taylor (18 October 1753 at Ropley, Hampshire – April 1806 at Alresford, Hampshire) was a famous English cricketer who played for the Hambledon Club.
He played mainly for Hampshire but also made a number of appearances for Berkshire at a time when the county had a first-class team.
It was said of Taylor (see Haygarth and Nyren in particular) that he was an "admirable" cover field and a strong thrower.
As a batsman, he was a great hitter but "didn’t guard his wicket well enough" and had a tendency to cut at straight balls "like Beauclerk later".
In August 1786, Taylor and Tom Walker scored the third and fourth known first-class centuries in the same innings for White Conduit Club v Kent at Bourne Paddock.
