Richard Taylor (1902–1970) was a Canadian cartoonist best known for his cartoons in the magazine The New Yorker. He also contributed to The Saturday Evening Post, Collier's, Esquire (magazine), and Playboy. He signed his work R.Taylor. An unsigned obituary in the New York Times reported that "Mr. Taylor satirized the foibles, follies and self-delusions of those who considered themselves worldly wise and self-possessed." Canadian comics historian John Bell called Taylor "one of the greatest New Yorker cartoonists".
