The Toleman TG181 is a Formula One car that was used in the 1981 Formula One season. It was also the first car used by Toleman in F1.[1]

It was a generally poor car, with its drivers, Derek Warwick and Brian Henton, only getting through qualifying once each, with Warwick's tenth place at Monza the only finish for the car.

Evolutions of the car, the Toleman TG181B and Toleman TG181C, were used the following year, to better effect.
