Stuart James Taylor (born 28 November 1980) is an English professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper and is currently a free agent following his release from Premier League club Southampton in June 2018. Taylor began his career with Arsenal, winning the 2001–02 Premier League and 2002–03 FA Cup and representing England at under-16, under-18, under-20 and under-21 level. He was spoken of as a future replacement for Arsenal and England goalkeeper David Seaman but after other goalkeepers were signed, he struggled to get playing time after 2003 and he joined Aston Villa in 2005.

Initially second-choice behind Thomas Sørensen, Taylor was again supplanted by other keepers and pushed down the pecking order. He left Aston Villa in 2009, having played only 12 league matches in 4 seasons. He has since been contracted with Manchester City, Reading, Yeovil Town, Leeds United and Southampton. Taylor has spent most of his career as a third-choice goalkeeper; he has made only 95 career appearances, played in just 10 games since a loan spell at Cardiff City ended in May 2009 and hasn't played at all since 2015.
