Daryl Toh (born April 15, 1986) is a Malaysian comic book artist and writer. Toh first gained attention through his supernatural webcomic Tobias and Guy, published on his Tumblr account, and focusing on the relationship between the human Guy and demon Tobias. Toh would go on to work on various independent comics or self-published projects.

In 2018, Toh worked on the second volume of Greg Anderson-Elysée's Is'nana the Were-Spider, focusing on the son of mythological figure Anansi; the comic would win a Glyph Comics Award the following year. In 2020, Toh worked alongside Steve Foxe on the graphic novel Cheater Code, which was published by Oni Press.

Citing H. P. Lovecraft and Junji Ito as some of his inspirations, many of Toh's works connect to the horror genre and often include LGBT characters and themes in them.

According to Toh, ever since he read the science fiction-horror novella At the Mountains of Madness, he became interested in H. P. Lovecraft's other works.[1] Some of his inspirations as an artist include Mike Mignola, especially concerning horror, as well as Richard Corben, Tyler Crook, Guy Davis, Junji Ito, and Masahiro Ito.[2]
