Big Torch Key is an island in the lower Florida Keys.
It is located to the north of Middle Torch Key, connected to it via a causeway.
It is named for the torchwood tree (Amyris elemifera L.), a native species found there.
It is the site of an early settlement.
Although it is the largest of the three large Torch Keys, it is the only one not traversed by U.S. Route 1.
