Serra del Turmell, also known as Serra del Mont Turmell,[1] (Spanish: Sierra del Turmell) is an over 12 km (7 mi) long mountain range in the Baix Maestrat comarca, Valencian Community, Spain.

These mountains and their neighboring ranges are a desolate place with little human habitation. Their summits are frequently covered in snow in the winter. The Cervol River has its sources in this range.

There was much activity of the Spanish Maquis in this range and the neighboring areas after the Spanish Civil War and well into the 1960s.[2]
