Mojo Nixon (born Neill Kirby McMillan, Jr.; August 2, 1957 – February 7, 2024) was an American musician. He retired from the music business in 2004, briefly putting his retirement on pause for the release of a solo album in 2009. In recent years, he hosted several Sirius Satellite Radio shows, and on occasion has performed for special one-time events.

As an actor, he played the role of Toad's Dinohattanite form in the 1993 Super Mario Bros. film. Toad's character in the film is a music-driven political critic of President Koopa who briefly performs an anti-Koopa song upon first meeting Mario and Luigi. Mojo Nixon uploaded an extended two minute version of this song on his personal YouTube channel in 2012.[1] Toad's Goomba form seen later in the film is instead played by John Fifer, though the film still pays homage to Toad's musician roots by equipping him with a harmonica. On February 7, 2024, he died from a cardiac arrest.
