This article is about a University hall of residence; for the work of fiction see Toad of Toad Hall.

Toad Hall is a residential hall at the Australian National University in Canberra, Australian Capital Territory, Australia.

It is located at the corner of Barry Drive and Kingsley Street, Acton. Sullivans Creek and the Drill Hall Gallery are nearby. The Toad Hall residences were designed by architect John Andrews in 1977 and are listed in 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, with the long line of willow trees between the hall and Sullivans Creek, was evocative of Kenneth Grahame's children's novel, The Wind in the Willows.
