An intentional tort is a civil wrong that is committed by a person on purpose resulting in injury to another.
For instance, if I run my car into you on purpose with the idea of hurting you then that may be the intentional tort. The tort is assault and battery. If I lie to you for the purpose of deceiving you and causing you to incur some expense as a result of my lying then I may have committed a fraud. That is an intentional tort.
Other intentional torts are defamation, abuse of process and conversion. Also malicious prosecution, trespass, conspiracy and false imprisonment.
See Brien Roche’s book Law 101 published by Sphinx Publishing for more information on this subject.
