James Vernon Taylor (12 de março de 1948, em Belmont, Massachusetts) é um músico norte-americano de folk rock.
Começou sua carreira no final dos anos 60, na onda, então popular, do soft-rock americano. Como não conseguia espaço em seu próprio país, foi tentar a sorte na Inglaterra, sendo um dos primeiros contratados da gravadora dos Beatles, a Apple Records. Mas as gravações que realizou no período 68/69 não chamaram a atenção e ele voltou para os EUA.
