Tao is the pinyin romanization of the Chinese surname 陶 (Táo). It listed 31st in the Song-era Hundred Family Surnames poem.

Tao (陶) is not to be confused with the Vietnamese surname Tào, derived from the Chinese surname Cao (chữ Hán: 曹) or the Japanese surname Tao (田尾), notably the surname of ski jumper Katsushi Tao (田尾 克史, born 1963) and baseball player Yasushi Tao (田尾 安志, born 1954).
