Baron Charles Victor Raymond André Evance de Tornaco (Template:IPA; 7 June 1927 – 18 September 1953)<ref name=mem>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> was a racing driver from Belgium. He participated in 4 Formula One World Championship Grands Prix, debuting on 22 June 1952. He scored no championship points.

De Tornaco was the co-founder of Ecurie Belgique, which later became Ecurie Francorchamps, and most of his racing career was with this team, driving Ferraris. In practice for the 1953 Modena Grand Prix, de Tornaco rolled his car and suffered serious head and neck injuries. There were no adequate medical facilities present, and he died on his way to hospital in a private saloon car.<ref>Steve Small - "The Grand Prix Who's Who", 1996</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
