Angelo F. Taylor (born December 29, 1978) is an American athlete, winner of 400 m hurdles at the 2000 Summer Olympics.

Born in Albany, Georgia, Angelo Taylor studied in Georgia Institute of Technology and won the NCAA title in 1998 and placed second in 1997. In 1998, Taylor won also a silver medal at the US National Championships and won the title in three times from 1999 to 2001.

Taylor made his debut at the major tournaments at the 1999 World Championships, where he finished third in his heat in 400 m hurdles, but ran a third leg at the gold medal winning US 4x400 m relay team.

In 2000, Taylor ran a world-leading time at the Olympic Trials and entered the Sydney Games as a favorite. In a thrilling final, Taylor moved from fourth place to first over the final two hurdles and barely edged Saudi Arabia's Hadi Souan Somayli by 0.03 seconds in the closest finish in the history of the event. Taylor also ran in the heat and semifinal of 4x400 m relay race.

Taylor was eliminated in the semifinals of the 2001 World Championships in 400 m hurdles while struggling with a sinus infection and flu, but won a gold as a member of US 4x400 m relay team. He didn't make the US World Championships team in 2003, but tried to defend unsuccessfully his Olympic title at the 2004 Summer Olympics, finishing only fourth in semifinal.
