Demba Armand Tourézé (born 31 December 1984 in Dakar, Senegal) is a Senegalese footballer. He currently plays for French club Stade Reims in Ligue 2. He dropped the 'zé' part of his surname when he was 20, re-registering his name with FIFA as Demba Armand Touré

Touré played at Lyon for the 2002 and 2003 seasons, and was then loaned to Grasshopper-Club Zürich for 2004 and 2005.

He was called up to the Senegal national squad for the 2008 African Cup of Nations qualifying game against Burkina Faso in October 2006 to replace the injured Marseille striker Mamadou Niang.
