Ryan Moloney (born November 24th, 1979) is an Australian actor. Since 1995 he has portrayed the character Jarrod "Toadfish" Rebecchi in the Australian soap opera Neighbours.

Ryan`s first acting experience was with the Merilyn Brend Children`s Teenagers and Adults Theatre Company in outer-eastern Melbourne when he was ten years old. He starred in their youth reportory production of The Purple Pumpernickel. His first role in a feature film was playing a thug in Say A Little Prayer (1993), based on the Robin Klein novel Came Back to Show You I Could Fly.

Moloney initially auditioned for the role of Brett Stark in Neighbours, but he first appeared as a one off-character named Cyborg in 1994. He was later called back to play Jarrod "Toadfish" Rebecchi, brother of established character Kevin "Stonefish" Rebecchi, for one scene only (which aired on February 8th, 1995). This became a recurring guest role, and as the character proved popular it became a regular role in 1996.
In April 2004 he was nominated for a Golden Rose of Montreux award for Best Actor in a soap for his work in Neighbours.

Ryan Moloney is an active patron of the Down Syndrome Association of Victoria, and has been involved with the Victorian Police Department`s Films For Schools Youth project.

In November 2003 Moloney married long term girlfriend Alison Hayward, and in 2006 they became parents.
He is a fan of soccer and supports Glasgow Celtic of Scotland.
