Dennis Taylor (born January 19, 1949) is a retired Irish snooker player. He was the 1985 Snooker World Champion, beating Steve Davis on the last black in a tense final.
Taylor was renowned for the glasses he wore during matches, the large frame supposedly gave him a broader view of the table.
Taylor now commentates on the four televised snooker tournaments each year for the BBC, often alongside Terry Griffiths, who he lost to in the 1979 world final.
