'''Taylor Ledge''' is a notable flat-topped ridge displaying abrupt cliffs north and south, situated between [[Boyce Ridge]] and [[Mount Shinn]] on the west slope of [[Sentinel Range]], [[Ellsworth Mountains]] in [[Antarctica]]. The upper surface of the feature is ice covered and relatively level except for 3373-meter [[Knutzen Peak]] on the north edge.
The ridge was named by the [[Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names]] (US-ACAN) in 2006 after Thomas N. and Edith L. Taylor, Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Kansas, Lawrence, husband and wife [[U.S. Antarctic Program|U.S. Antarctic Project]] (USAP) researchers of plant fossils in the central [[Transantarctic Mountains]], 1980s–2004.
