Charles-François Turinaz (February 2, 1838 – October 19, 1918) was a French Roman Catholic prelate who served as Bishop of Tarentaise (1873–1882) and later as Bishop of Nancy-Toul (1882–1918). A staunch defender of Catholic rights, he opposed secularist policies in France and played a significant role in promoting social Catholicism.
