Tōru Toida (戸井田 徹, Toida Tōru, born November 25, 1951) is a former Japanese politician who served in the House of Representatives in the Diet (national legislature) as a member of the Liberal Democratic Party.

Toida was born Henan, China in 1951 to Japanese parents. His father, Saburō Toida, was a student soldier and a medical soldier in the Imperial Japanese Army, while his mother was a former military nurse. After World War II, both parents were conscripted into the Eighth Route Army as they had experience and knowledge in medicine, nursing, and hygiene. The family moved back to Japan in 1953 and settled down in Edogawa, Tokyo. Toida graduated with a degree from Dokkyo University.

Toida was first elected in 1996.

He was a supporter of right-wing filmmaker Satoru Mizushima's 2007 film The Truth about Nanjing, which denied that the Nanjing Massacre ever occurred.^[1]
