Tonka is a brand of toy trucks popular in America, the United Kingdom and Australia. They were originally designed and built by Mound Metalcraft Co. in Mound, Minnesota, which had previously made just lawn and garden tools. In 1946, another local manufacturer, L.E. Streater Company, approached them about making metal toys under license. The name Tonka (named after Lake Minnetonka in Minnesota) appeared on toys from the beginning, but Tonka did not exist as a separate company until the 1950s. It was owned for a time by General Mills.

Tonka was bought by Hasbro of Pawtucket, Rhode Island in 1991.

Tonka is also a plant that gives the tonka bean.
