Middle Torch Key is an island in the lower Florida Keys.^[1]^[2]

It is located between Ramrod Key and Little Torch Key.

The southernmost tip of the key is on U.S. 1 (or the Overseas Highway), at approximately mile marker 28.

Like the other Torch Keys, it was probably named for the native Torchwood tree.
