Matthew Howard Taylor (born 4 March 1973) is an Australian politician. He was the Liberal member for the Western Australian Legislative Assembly seat of Bateman from 2013 to 2017. After a redistribution shifted much of the Liberal base in Alfred Cove to Bateman, Taylor was forced into a preselection contest with former minister Dean Nalder, Alfred Cove's last member. Nalder won the contest, leading Taylor to contest the new seat of Bicton. He lost to Labor challenger Lisa O'Malley.
