Torre Pellice is a comune (municipality) in the Province of Turin in the Italian region Piedmont, located about 45 kilometres (28 mi) southwest of Turin. It is crossed by the Pellice river.
Torre Pellice is the centre of the Waldensian church. The Waldensians arrived in the valley in the early 13th century. In a grotto nearby Torre Pellice they held the Sinod of Chanforan, by which they adhered to the Protestant Reformation (1590).
It borders the municipalities of Angrogna, Villar Pellice, Luserna San Giovanni, and Rorà.
