Toxteth O'Grady is a fictional person mentioned in the British sitcom The Young Ones, as the answer to several questions in a scene spoofing the high-brow television quiz show University Challenge.

Such is the cult status of The Young Ones that some years later, one University Challenge contestant, unable to come up with a suitable reply when pressed by quizmaster Jeremy Paxman, answered "Toxteth O'Grady, USA" as a guess, bringing the house down.
