Torrenueva is a municipality of Spain located in the province of Ciudad Real, autonomous community of Castile-La Mancha. It has a population of 2,637.

It was mentioned as early as 1243 as a settlement part of the Campo de Montiel, a dominion of the Order of Santiago.[2] In 1440, it was gifted a carta puebla ('population charter') that acknowledged a series of privileges, including the right to enjoy its own council.[3]
