Charles de Tornaco (born 7 June 1927 in Brussels, died 18 September 1953 in Modena) was a Belgian racing driver. Competing in F1 for his friend Jacques Swaters' Ecurie Nationale Belge, he lacked experience at that level, and despite showing some promise, he was unable to make a race start. He was killed in practice for the 1953 Modena Grand Prix when he rolled his car and suffered head and neck injuries. He was just 26 years old.
