William Johnson Taylor (23 October 1902 – 26 July 1972) was a Conservative and National Liberal Party politician in the United Kingdom.
At the 1945 general election he stood unsuccessfully in the Bradford East constituency in West Yorkshire, losing in that year's landslide by a wide margin to the Labour Party candidate Frank McLeavy. After boundary changes, he stood at the 1950 general election in the neighbouring Bradford North, where unseated the Labour MP Muriel Nichol.
Taylor held the seat until his defeat at 1964 general election by Labour's Ben Ford.
