Leslie Brian Taylor (born October 25, 1953, Earl Shilton, Leicestershire) is a former English cricketer who played in two Tests against Australia in 1985. His first-class cricket was for Leicestershire

A solidly-built fast-medium bowler and a reliable county performer over many years, Taylor's chance of Test selection seemed to have gone when he received a three-year ban for joining Graham Gooch's rebel tour to South Africa in 1982, when he was the leading bowler. After his two Tests in 1985, Taylor won selection to the winter tour to the West Indies, but was dubbed Lord Lucan by certain members of the press due to his lack of matches on tour. He appared in just one one-day international on the tour, and was picked for a second on his return home in the series against India.
