There are many different species of toads, broken down into several "families" including Bufonidae, Bombinatoridae, Discoglossidae, Pelobatidae, Rhinophrynidae, Scaphiopodidae, and Microhylidae. Which specific species do you mean and I'll give you the genus species or the binomial nomenclature.
"Toad" is not really a "thing", scientifically speaking. There are many species of animals commonly called "toads"; you'd have to be more ... well, specific ... before we could give you the "scientific name" of any particular one.
Toads are not a "clade"; some animals called "toads" are much more closely related to certain frogs than they are to each other, and biologically speaking, "toad" is just a common name for certain kinds of frogs which happen to either have dry, leathery skin, live primarily on land (as opposed to in water), or both.
The order that includes both toads and frogs (which is a clade) is Anura, which means "tailless".
