We explore the Dirac equation in external electromagnetic and torsion fields. Motivated by the previous study of quantum field theory in an external torsion field, we include a nonminimal interaction of the spinor field with torsion. As a consequence, the torsion axial vector and the electromagnetic potential enter the action in a similar form. The existence of an extra local symmetry is emphasized and the Foldy-Wouthuysen transformation is performed to an accuracy of next to the leading order. We also discuss the motion of a classical test particle in a constant torsion field.
