    A Dirac surface is a conformal immersion \(f:M\to\mathbb R^3\) from a Riemann surface \(M\) into the Euclidean \(3\)-space \(\mathbb R^3\) such that \(H^2f^{\ast}g_{\mathbb R^3}\) has constant Gaussian curvature, where \(H\) is the mean curvature and \(f^{\ast}g_{\mathbb R^3}\) is the first fundamental form of the surface. When \(M\) is a torus, the Willmore energy is uniformly distributed over the surface, and the surface can be obtained using a spin transformation of the plane by an eigenvector of the standard Dirac operator. In this paper, computing the doubly periodic spin transformations and the closing conditions, the author classifies Dirac tori and determines the conformal classes realized by them.
