Torquay Academy is an over-subscribed non-selective 11 to 18 school in Torquay, Devon, England. Before 1 September 2012, it was known as Torquay Community College. The academy is part of a multi-academy trust in partnership with Torquay Boys' Grammar School.[2]

The headteacher is Steve Margetts.[3] In January 2010, the school moved into a new building[4] as part of the Building Schools for the Future scheme.[5] In March 2012, a short film about the school's innovative design was made by ITN and broadcast at the Building Schools Exhibition and Conference.[6]

Following an Ofsted inspection in June 2016, the school was rated "good" on all criteria.[1]
