Black Torrington is a village in north Devon, England, situated between the towns of Holsworthy and Hatherleigh. It is situated on and named after the River Torridge.

Within the village is a small but well maintained 15th century CofE parish church named after St Mary. There is also a CofE run primary school adjacent to the church.

The church is of medieval origin, with a 14th century chancel, with much of the rest dating from about 1500.
