Florence Mary Taylor CBE (née Parsons; 29 December 1879, in Bedminster, England – 13 February 1969, in Sydney, Australia) was the first qualified female architect in Australia.
She was also the first woman in Australia to fly in a heavier-than-air craft in 1909 and the first female member of the UK's Institution of Structural Engineers in 1926.
However, she is best known for her role as publisher, editor and writer for the influential building industry trade journals established in 1907 with her husband George, which she ran and expanded after his death in 1928 until her retirement in 1961.
