Toxidia inornatus, the spotless grass-skipper or inornata skipper, is a butterfly of the family Hesperiidae. It is found in Indonesia (Papua, Aru Islands, Kai Islands), New Guinea, Australia's Cape York and surrounding islands.

The wingspan is about 25 mm.

The larvae feed on Poaceae species, including Brachiaria reptans. They live in the debris at the foot of its host plant or in a shelter of leaves joined with silk.
