Toto IV was the fourth album by American pop-rock band Toto, released in 1982 (see 1982 in music).

The album won Grammy Awards for Album of the Year and Engineered Recording. The album reached #4 on Billboard's Pop Albums chart shortly after its release in 1982, and started to drop down the chart. The single "Rosanna" (inspired by the relationship between Steve Porcaro and actress Rosanna Arquette) hit #2. The song "Africa" was released as the third single and it became the group's only No. 1 hit. "I Won't Hold You Back" came next and hit the top 10. With the success of "Africa", the album climbed back to the top 10 in early 1983. The other singles were "Make Believe" and "Waiting for Your Love".
