Lindsay Corine Taylor (born May 20, 1981) is an American professional basketball player and a former college player who has played in the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA), Turkish Women's Basketball League, Ligue Féminine de Basketball (LFB), the WKBL, Polish Women's League, and the Women's Chinese Basketball Association (WCBA). Currently she plays in Angola's women basketball league, for Primeiro de Agosto.

In the WNBA Taylor has played for four teams: the Houston Comets, Phoenix Mercury, Seattle Storm (twice) and the Washington Mystics. The last two of her terms in the WNBA were brief, with the second lasting only a week. In contrast to her short tenures in the WNBA, Taylor has enjoyed far greater success in Europe and Asia, especially in the Polish Women's League, where she is known by her sobriquet Lindska and has achieved a level of recognition comparable to that of Lisa Leslie in the WNBA, and the Women's Chinese Basketball Association (WCBA). Taylor finished her first season in the Polish Women's League with the highest number of points scored, and her overall evaluation was the highest in the league. She was also awarded Center of the Year and earned a place on the 1st Team, All-Imports Team and the All-Defensive Team.

Standing 6 ft and 8 in (2.03 m) tall, Taylor is one of the tallest female athletes in the world. She was the tallest player in the history of UC Santa Barbara women's basketball program, and she is tied for the second tallest player to ever to play in the WNBA. Taylor had quipped that because of her larger stature then other players she has what she describes "a bird's eye view of everything" on the court. Literally she can see over other players.
