Trevor Taylor (26 December 1936 – 27 September 2010) was a British motor racing driver from England.

Born in Sheffield, the son of a garage owner from Rotherham, Taylor was the product of the later period of 500cc Formula 3 racing, initially using a Staride and later Cooper Norton. Ten victories in 1958 earned him the British Formula 3 Championship and, after a frustrating year in 1959 spent with his own F2 Cooper, he received an invitation to run his own Lotus 18 as a second works car for 1960.

He participated in 29 World Championship Formula One Grands Prix, debuting on 18 July 1959. During his career he achieved one podium, and scored a total of eight championship points. He also participated in numerous non-Championship Formula One races. Taylor is also credited with inventing the yellow stripe that ran down the middle of Team Lotus cars during the 1960s.
