Angella Taylor (born September 28, 1958 in Jamaica) is a former Canadian sprinter. While still competing, she became known under her married name Angella Issajenko.
In 1985, she was made a Member of the Order of Canada.
She was a part of the doping regime of George Astaphan, the physician who infamously supplied Ben Johnson with stanazolol.
