Rainer Torres (born January 12, 1980 in Lima, Peru) is a Peruvian football midfielder. He currently plays for Universitario de Deportes. He is regularly called to play for the national team but because of injuries he has not been able to play in most games.

Rainer Torres began in Sport Boys. He then moved to Europe to play for the German club MSV Duisburg and Austrian club DSV Leoben. He then returned to Peru to play for Universitario. However, problems between Torres and the directors of the club caused him to sign with Sporting Cristal where he would play for four seasons and win one national championship. He returned to Universitario in 2008 but was unable to play in the first 7 games of the season because of an injury in the preseason.
