Christian Julius Toxward (1831–1891) was a New Zealand architect. He was born in Copenhagen, Denmark in 1831. He is buried at Bolton Street Memorial Park, and his grave is part of the memorial trail. Toxward designed over 200 buildings in the lower North Island from 1866 to his death. Toxward was one of Wellington's most prolific architects through the 1860s to 1870s. Little of Toxward's work today survives but his surviving works have heritage protection.
