Craig Taylor (born January 24, 1974 in Plymouth) is an English professional footballer. He currently plays as a central defender for Torquay United.

Taylor began his professional football career with Swindon Town, who he joined in April 1997 from non-league Dorchester Town for a fee of £25,000. He had a month on loan with Plymouth Argyle from October 1998 and moved to Plymouth in August 1999 for a fee of £30,000.

In February 2003, Taylor joined Torquay United on loan, initially for a month's cover as both Sean Hankin and Steve Woods were sidelined with injuries. The loan deal was extended to the end of the season and he signed for Torquay on a free transfer in June 2003.

His brother Shaun also played for Swindon.
