Luther Haden "Dummy" Taylor (September 21, 1875 - August 22, 1958) was a deaf American right-handed pitcher in Major League Baseball from 1900 to 1908. Born in Oskaloosa, Kansas, he played for the New York Giants and Cleveland Bronchos. He died at age 82 in Jacksonville, Illinois. He is buried in Prairie City Cemetery in Baldwin City, Kansas.

Taylor was profoundly deaf and performed on-field communications with his teammates in sign language. He is credited with helping to expand and make universal the use of sign language throughout the modern baseball infield, including but not limited to the use of pitching signs.

After his retirement from baseball, Taylor devoted his second half of his adulthood to administration of deaf education in Kansas and at the Illinois School for the Deaf in Jacksonville, Illinois.
