Taylor Makar (born March 13, 2001) is a Canadian professional ice hockey player who is a forward for the Colorado Avalanche of the National Hockey League (NHL).
He is the younger brother of Cale Makar, who also plays for Colorado.
On March 31, 2025, Makar signed a one-year, entry-level contract with the Avalanche. Following the signing, he reported to their American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Colorado Eagles, on an amateur tryout.
Makar entered the 2025–26 season participating in the Avalanche's training camp. He was cut from the roster during the training camp and assigned to the Eagles. On October 31, Makar was called up to the Avalanche after Gavin Brindley was knocked out of the lineup due to an injury. He made his debut a day later against the San Jose Sharks, where he recorded one hit and 6:07 in ice time before being sent down to the Eagles the same day. With his debut, it was the first time in Avalanche history that two brothers played together.
