Hobart T. Taylor Jr. (December 17, 1920 – April 2, 1981) was an African American attorney and civil servant who was Special Legal Counsel and the Executive Vice Chairman of the President's Committee on Equal Employment Opportunities, the forerunner to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission from 1961 to 1965. He was the first non-white person to direct the staff of a presidential commission. He is credited with coining the phrase "affirmative action". He was appointed Associate Special Counsel to the President in 1964, making him one of the highest-ranking African Americans in the U.S. government. He left the commission and the White House staff in 1965 to become a director of the Export–Import Bank of the United States, serving until 1968.
