Jeremy Taylor – angielski duchowny anglikański i pisarz religijny.

W latach 1626-34 studiował w Gonville and Caius College na Uniwersytecie Cambridge. W roku 1635 został członkiem All Souls College na Uniwersytecie Oksfordzkim. Pełnił funkcję kapelana królewskiego oraz kapelana arcybiskupa Williama Lauda. W roku 1645, podczas wojny domowej, trafił na pewien czas do niewoli po zdobyciu przez stronników parlamentu zamku w Cardigan. W latach 1661-67 pełnił funkcję biskupa Down i Connor oraz biskupa Dromore .

Był twórcą dzieł, które charakteryzują się prostotą języka i bogactwem obrazowania. Udzielał w nich porad i wskazówek dotyczących życia religijnego, wykazując jednocześnie zrozumienie dla ludzkich słabości oraz tolerancję dla innych poglądów, jeżeli nie stały w sprzeczności z podstawowymi zasadami chrześcijaństwa.
