"Toad" is a song by British rock band Cream appearing on their 1966 debut album, Fresh Cream. The song is a five minute, eleven second long instrumental, composed by drummer Ginger Baker. "Toad" is notable because it features one of the earliest recorded drum solos in Rock history, which takes up the vast majority of the song. It can also be seen as an earlier example of Hard Rock. An extended sixteen minute live version (of which 13 minutes is drum solo) appears on Cream's 1968 album Wheels of Fire. The same recording appears on the two-disc compilation album Cream Gold. "Toad" was given a 10:06 minute rendition during Cream's reunion in May 2005 at the Royal Albert Hall.

"Toad" was also performed by Ginger Baker's Air Force, and a 13 minute live version appears on their 1970 album, Ginger Baker's Air Force.
