Duror was a railway station on Cuil Bay on the east shore of Loch Linnhe at Duror in Argyll and Bute.
This station opened on 20 August 1903. It was laid out with two platforms, one on either side of a crossing loop. There was a siding to the north of the station, on the east side of the line.
One platform was taken out of use on 8 April 1927 along with the crossing loop.
The station closed in 1966, when the Ballachulish Branch of the Callander and Oban Railway was closed.
Throughout its existence, the Ballachulish Branch was worked by the electric token system. Duror signal box, which had 18 levers, was located on the Up platform, on the east side of the railway. The signal box and crossing loop were taken out of use on 8 April 1927.
