Toyah Willcox (born May 18, 1958 in King's Heath, Birmingham, England) is a British actress and singer.

She first became well-known during the punk rock era, her appearances in Derek Jarman's 1977 film Jubilee and 1979's Who album-inspired Quadrophenia launching her as a provocative and anti-establishment figure, an image which she eventually threw off. Her singing career took off shortly afterwards, with hits such as "I Want to be Free" and "It's a Mystery". In 1983, she was voted Best Female Singer at the British Rock and Pop Awards, and in 1986 she married avant-garde musician, Robert Fripp.
