Toroskof was a Pontic Greek village in the province Ardahan.

It was settled by Pontic refugees from Bayburt and the Gümüşhane province after the Russo-Turkish war of 1877-1878. In the census of 1918 the village had 800 inhabitants.

The inhabitants resettled in Greece to the towns Katerini, the Polichni area of Thessaloniki and the villages Tripotamos and Komninio in Imathias, and Palaio Gynaikokastro and Melisourgeio in Kilkis.
