Substitute Kal Naismith scored a superb winner as Accrington inflicted a third straight defeat on League Two relegation rivals Torquay.
Torquay's Joss Labadie had two headers cleared off the line by Michael Liddle.
Gulls keeper Michael Poke tipped over a header from his own team-mate and made a one-handed stop when George Bowerman shot from Piero Mingoia's cross.
But Naismith scored the winner after skipping past three defenders and side-footing into the corner of the goal.
