Toad of Toad Hall is the first of several dramatisations of Kenneth Grahame's The Wind in the Willows. It was written by A. A. Milne. He extracted the adventures of Mr Toad (which form only about half of the original book) because they lent themselves most easily to being staged.

The play has four main characters: Rat, Badger, Mole and Toad. Toad's caravan and car adventures are included, as well as his imprisonment, escape and fight with the weasels and stoats to regain his home with the help of his friends. Although not a musical, the play contains six songs.

Its first production was at the Lyric Theatre (London) in London on 17 December 1929.
