Francis Henry Taylor (14 June 1890 – 6 December 1963) was an English Cricketer who played for Derbyshire County Cricket Club between 1908 and 1911.

Taylor was born at Wirksworth, Derbyshire the son of Walter Taylor of Fern House and his wife Alice. His father was a manufacturer of artificial fertilizer.

Taylor made his debut for Derbyshire in the 1908 season, in a match against Lancashire, when batting in the middle order he made 10 in his first innings. He played again in 1908 and in one match in the 1909 season. He played four matches in the 1910 season, and completed his career with a single match in the 1911 season. After his first game, he almost invariably scored a duck in his first innings and a double figure score in his second innings, his last, 18 against Lancashire in 1911, being his top score. Taylor was a right-hand batsman who played 16 innings in 8 first-class matches. His top score was 18 and his average 6.33.
