That depends how you define the word. In the usual sense of the word Torah, the above answer is accurate: there is one Torah. No Hebrew Torah scroll, worldwide, has ever been found to contradict the scrolls used by the Jewish community.
In the broader sense, there are two Torahs: the written Torah (our Torah scrolls), and the Oral Torah (Oral Law), which is the authoritative ancient commentary of the Talmud which explains the Torah's laws. It was transmitted orally until the sages put it in writing 1515 years ago so that it should not be forgotten in times of exile and persecution.
If the question is asking how many Torah scrolls there are in the world, there are probably several hundred thousand. However, there is no accurate accounting of this.
