Todoque was a locality belonging to the municipality of Los Llanos de Aridane, located in the southwest of the island of La Palma, Canary Islands. Its population numbered 1,310 people. Its main neighborhoods were Todoque, Los Pasitos and Todoque de Arriba. The town was first badly damaged and many constructions destroyed by the Cumbre Vieja volcano eruption in September 2021, which ended up engulfing it entirely.

In September and October 2021, its territory was affected by the Cumbre Vieja volcanic eruption. On September 21, the lava flow reached the town and during the following days hundreds of buildings were destroyed, including the church of Saint Pius X, the health center, the headquarters of the neighborhood association, the School of Early Childhood Education, and Los Campitos Elementary School and the Todoque Elementary and the Infant Education School. On October 10, new lava flows destroyed the buildings that were still standing, leaving the town practically erased from the map.

Iglesia de San Pío X, burned and collapsed by the lava flow on 26 September 2021.
