Dato' Sri Dr. Muhammad Leo Michael Toyad Abdullah (born 11 April 1950) is a Malaysian politician. He is currently the Member of the Parliament of Malaysia for the Mukah constituency in Sarawak, representing the Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB) in the ruling Barisan Nasional coalition.
Toyad was first elected to Parliament in the 1982 election. In 1987 he became Deputy Minister for Foreign Affairs, and after the 2004 election he joined the full ministry of Prime Minister Abdullah Badawi as Minister for Tourism . He was dropped from the ministry 2006, in a move that surprised observers, to be replaced by Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor.
