Touradj is a Persian masculine given name, a French-influenced transliteration of تورج, more commonly written Tūrāj, Touraj, Tooraj or Turaj.

Closely associated with the Shahnameh’s Iran–Turan cycle, the name carries an epic aura yet remains in modern use. It has been most common in Iran and Persian-speaking communities, with a noticeable twentieth‑century revival alongside pre‑Islamic names and steady use in the diaspora. Variant spellings include Touraj, Tooraj, Turaj, Toraj and Tūrāj; Touradj reflects French orthography. Occasional scholarly etymologies also connect it to the Avestan ethnonym Tura.
