Tormantos is a municipality of the autonomous community of La Rioja (Spain).

The first historical reference to Tormantos is in the 12th century (year 1137); it is a donation document made by Don Blasco Álvarez, neighbour of Tormantos, to Santo Domingo de la Calzada, in which he transferred a wineyard.

In 1146, the king Alfonso VII included Tormantos in the Fuero of Cerezo, a village which become independent during the reign of Charles III of Spain.

Another document dates back to 1269, in which Don Simón Roiz transferred his wife Sancha Alfonso, daughter of the king of the León, everything he owned "in Tormantos and all its territories".

Until the 12th century, the French route of the Camino de Santiago passed through this area, following the same path of the Roman road.
