Duryu is a dong in Dalseo-gu, western Daegu, South Korea. It is the site of Duryu Park and Woobang Tower Land, a popular Daegu amusement park.

They were home to 34,280 people as of October 31, 2005. The region's name comes from Duryu-san, the hill on which Daegu Woobang Tower is situated. It is a hanja transcription of a dialect term meaning “round”, referring to the hill's rounded shape. Daegu Subway Line 2 passes through Duryu-dong, as does the Dalgubeol Expressway.
