Alan John Percivale Taylor (25 March 1906 – 7 September 1990) was a British historian who specialised in 19th- and 20th-century European diplomacy.
Both a journalist and a broadcaster, he became well known to millions through his television lectures.
His combination of academic rigour and popular appeal led the historian Richard Overy to describe him as "the Macaulay of our age".
