Tom Launcelot Taylor (25 May 1878 – 16 March 1960) was an English amateur cricketer, who played for Yorkshire during its successful period under Lord Hawke between 1900 and 1902.

[1] Taylor was a noted amateur batsman, who retired early - after the 1902 season - as he needed to devote his time to his engineering business and to public life; e.g. as Chairman of the Leeds Infirmary.

Taylor was a fleet-footed and extremely sound middle order batsman, who was especially strong against slow bowling on the many difficult pitches experienced in Yorkshire.

He was Yorkshire's leading batsman that season, and toured Australia and New Zealand that winter with Lord Hawke's XI, when he was also one of the most successful batsmen.

In 1947, Taylor succeeded Jackson as President of Yorkshire County Cricket Club, and held office till his death in Leeds in 1960.
