In algebraic geometry, a toric stack is a stacky generalization of a toric variety.
More precisely, a toric stack is obtained by replacing in the construction of a toric variety a step of taking GIT quotients with that of taking quotient stacks.
Consequently, a toric variety is a coarse approximation of a toric stack.
