| Matthew James Taylor (born 30 March 1990) is an English professional footballer who plays as a striker for EFL League Two club Cheltenham Town.
Taylor made his debut in the Conference Premier at Oxford United during the 2007–08 season and went on to spend time on loan at Abingdon United, before joining Didcot Town on a free transfer in June 2009. He moved on to North Leigh later in the year, where his scoring record in the Southern League earned him a return to the Conference Premier with Forest Green Rovers in September 2011. He played over 100 games for the club and also scored six goals in seven games on loan at Chester and won a cap for the England C team, before signing with Bristol Rovers in June 2014. He helped Rovers to win promotion into the Football League via the play-offs in 2015. A second-successive promotion was secured in the 2015–16 campaign, and he was named on the PFA Team of the Year after finishing as League Two's top scorer with 27 goals.
After scoring 19 goals for Bristol Rovers in the first half of the 2016–17 season, he transferred to local derby rivals Bristol City for a fee of around £300,000 in January 2017. He was limited to nine Championship goals in a three-year stay, though he did feature in the club's run to the semi-finals of the EFL Cup in the 2017–18 campaign. He rejoined Oxford United on loan in August 2019 and signed a permanent deal with the club in July 2020. He finished as Oxford's top scorer for three successive League One campaigns between 2019–20 and 2021–22, scoring 64 goals in 164 league and cup appearances.
