Toryne (Ancient Greek: Τορύνη, also: Τορώνη) was an ancient Greek city of Epirus. It was located on the Ionian Sea coast, probably near present Parga.

In Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra Toryne is personally taken over by Caesar shortly after his being in Rome, showing an almost mystical speed. "Toryne" meant "ladle" in Ancient Greek, and in the play, Cleopatra puns upon this. In Victor Hugo's novel of the French Revolution, Les Miserables, a character says: "Cleopatra’s pun preceded the battle of Actium, and that had it not been for it, no one would have remembered the city of Toryne".
