Leslie Brian Taylor (born 25 October 1953) is an English former cricketer who played in two Test matches against Australia in 1985. His first-class cricket was played for Leicestershire and in South Africa for Natal.
The cricket writer Colin Bateman wrote: "His seam bowling was not pretty but it was hostile and effective, while his flailing batting was pure entertainment". His career was interrupted by a series of injuries.
