Taylorville is a small town on the banks of the Grey River in New Zealand. It is roughly 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) from the mouth of the river in Greymouth.
The local Taylorville swimming hole is popular for swimming and dog walking, but West Coast Regional Council advises against swimming in it after heavy rain due to elevated levels of E.coli. Taylorville is also beside the historic Brunner Mine site.
Taylorville was previously connected to Wallsend, located on the opposite side of the Grey River, with a suspension bridge for pedestrians providing a connection. The bridge washed away in the 1960s.
