Martin Taylor (born December 9, 1966 in Tamworth, England) is a former goalkeeper for Derby County, anc current goalkeeping coach for Burton Albion. A one-time apprentice coal miner, Taylor was signed from Mile Oak Rovers as understudy to Peter Shilton.

During his spell at Derby he also spent time on loan at Carlisle United, Scunthorpe United, Crewe Alexandra and Wycombe Wanderers.

Taylor moved to Wycombe Wanderers in 1997. He scored a penalty in a shoot out (vs Wimbledon) on the way to a semi-final vs Liverpool in the 2001 FA Cup. He later played for Barnsley, Telford United and Burton Albion, where he is currently goalkeeping coach.
