Torrent is one of the seven district electoral areas (DEA) in Mid Ulster, Northern Ireland. The district elects six members to Mid Ulster District Council and contains the wards of Ardboe, Coalisland North, Coalisland South, Donaghmore, Stewartstown and Washing Bay. Torrent forms part of the Mid Ulster constituencies for the Northern Ireland Assembly and UK Parliament.

It was created for the 1985 local elections, replacing Dungannon Area B which had existed since 1973, where it contained six wards (Altmore, Coalisland North, Coalisland South, Coalisand West and Newmills, Donaghmore and Washing Bay).
