Toad Hall is a hall at the Australian National University which lies near Sullivans creek and the Drill Hall Gallery, next to Barry Drive. The Toad Hall residences were designed by architect John Andrews in 1977, and is listed by the Royal Australian Institute of Architects Register of Significant Twentieth Century Architecture.

The University Council allowed the hall of residence to be named Toad Hall following the recommendation of the first residents of the hall where the setting reminded them of Kenneth Grahame's children's novel, The Wind in the Willows.
