Talmadge "Tab" Prince (February 16, 1938 – February 19, 1970) was an American stock car racing driver from Cullman, Alabama. He was died on his debut race in NASCAR after just 18 laps. In the second of the two 125 mile qualifying races for the Daytona 500 he blew an engine on his Dodge Daytona and went into a slide. Bill Seifert, who was following behind Prince, got into oil, lost control, and crashed head on into the driver's door of Prince's car. Prince was killed instantly. He was buried at the Roselawn Cemetery in Decatur, Alabama, and was survived by a son and daughter.

Prince started racing cars in the early 1960s, racing sprint and Late Model Sportsman cars on short tracks in the American South. In 1970, he entered his first NASCAR Grand National (now the NASCAR Sprint Cup) event, the Daytona 500. Prince's career only lasted a very unfortunate 18 laps.
