thumb|right|350px|The Iberian Peninsula in the 3rd century BC thumb|right|200px|The Turmodigi territory and their neighbors The Turmodigi were a pre-Roman ancient Celtic people of northern Spain who occupied the area within the Arlanzón and Arlanza river valleys in the 2nd Iron Age.

== Origins == The ancestors of the Turmodigi arrived at the Iberian Peninsula in the wake of the earlier Autrigones-Belgae migration at the 4th century BC, which settled in the area between the Arlanzón and Arlanza rivers. The neighbouring tribes surrounding the Turmodigi are mentioned by classic sources as being Celtic, as attested by the personal name 'Tormogus' in some local epigraphic sources. Designated Turmodigi by the Roman geographer Pliny the Elder, they are also mentioned in other Roman texts under the names Turmogi or Curgoni, and in the Greek ones as Murbogoioi or Mourbogoi (Ancient Greek: Μούρβογοι).
