Charles A. "Chuck" Taylor (January 24, 1920 – May 7, 1994) was an American college football coach at Stanford from 1951 to 1957. During his tenure, he compiled a 40-29-2 record and led the Indians to the Rose Bowl his first season. Taylor was named Coach of the Year that year.
Taylor's football playing days were also at Stanford, where he was an all-American at guard. Taylor played in Stanford's 1941 Rose Bowl victory over Nebraska.
After leaving coaching in 1957, Taylor returned to Stanford as Director of Athletics, where he served from 1963 to 1971, when Stanford again played in the Rose Bowl, giving him the distinction of participating in a Rose Bowl game as a player, coach, and athletic director.
