San Toy is a musical comedy first performed in 1899. The musical score was written by Sidney Jones with lyrics by Harry Greenbank and Adrian Ross. Additional songs were written by Lionel Monckton. The libretto was written by Edward Morton.

Some of the language and stereotyping in the production very much reflect the period in which it was written, would now tend to be not considered politically correct. However, a close inspection to the lyrics of such songs as Samee Gamee display a gentle mocking of the pretension of Western superiority.
