Durah is a locality in the Western Downs Region, Queensland, located northwest of Jandowae, with the majority of the locality within the Barakula State Forest.
The locality was named after a pastoral run held in the early 1850s by Thorne and Ridler, who also held the adjoining Darr and Ballon runs. The name is believed to be of Aboriginal origin, meaning 'thigh'.
In the 1883 Darling Downs Run Map, the Durah run appears with Durah Creek flowing through it and joining Charleys Creek to the south. It is not known whether the creek or the run was named first.
In the 2021 census, Durah had "no people or a very low population".
