Zachary William Taylor (born May 10, 1983) is an American professional football coach and former quarterback who is the head coach for the Cincinnati Bengals of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Wake Forest Deacons, Butler Grizzlies, and Nebraska Cornhuskers before signing with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2007 as an undrafted free agent.

Taylor was named Cincinnati's head coach in 2019, where he went 6–25–1 in his first two years. In 2021, Taylor led the Bengals to their first playoff win since 1990, ending the longest active drought in the four major North American sports, en route to an appearance in Super Bowl LVI.

During his time with the Bengals, Taylor has won five postseason games, matching the franchise total prior to his hiring as head coach.
