Toby Claude (born Harriette Mary Kavanagh; January 29, 1877 – October 27, 1962) was an Irish actress and singer in vaudeville, on the Broadway stage, and in silent films.

Her father Richard Kavanaugh was Irish; her mother Angelina Claude[1] was an "English burlesque actress".

[5] Theatre writers often mentioned her short stature (she was well under five feet in height): "Miss Toby Claude [is] almost sufficiently diminutive to rank as an eccentric Lilliputian," commented one in 1904.

[15] Toby Claude married fellow actor William P. Carleton; they divorced in 1903.

[16] In 1915 she was involved in a scandal when she was found leaving America with another actress's husband and young child.
