Lieutenant colonel William John Kirwan-Taylor (29 June 1905 – 28 August 1994), also known as John Taylor, was an English international rugby union player of the 1920s.
Kirwan-Taylor was born in Sutton, Surrey. One of his brothers was the long-serving Conservative MP Charles Taylor and another, Alfred Suenson-Taylor, 1st Baron Grantchester, stood unsuccessfully for the House of Commons. He read law at Trinity College, Cambridge, and featured in the 1926 Varsity Match for Cambridge University.
In 1928, Kirwan-Taylor gained five England caps as a right wing three-quarter, which included all four matches of their grand slam-winning Five Nations campaign, contributing a try against Wales at Swansea.
Kirwan-Taylor, a surveyor by profession, served as a lieutenant colonel with the Rifle Brigade during World War II and was also a General Staff Officer in the American 1st Airborne Division. He was made an Officer of the British Empire (OBE) in the 1946 Birthday Honours for his military service.
