Tortilla Flats is a rural locality in the Coomalie Shire, Northern Territory, Australia. It is located approximately 105 kilometres (65 mi) south east of the Territory capital Darwin. The locality is named after a farm established in 1958 by the Australian Government to conduct agricultural experiments.

The land surrounding the locality is sparsely populated and mainly set aside for pastoral uses.
