No. Although frogs and toads are both amphibians, they are completely different species from each other. Frogs belong to the family Ranidae while toads belong to the family Bufonidae.

Is a toad the same thing as a frog?

It is a toad. The American toad is the common toad. There is also a common frog. Don't get them mixed up! The same is true in the UK: we have common toads which are toads, and common frogs which are frogs. Confusion begins to arise in the tropics, where iconic species like poison-arrow frogs could really be classed as toads due to their ability to crawl/climb. True frogs always hop.
