Durga (sanskrt दुर्गा) jedna je od najpopularnijih hinduističkih božica. Ona je božica-ratnica i božica-majka te oblik vrhovne božice Adi Parashakti. Poistovjećuju ju s Parvati, koja je opisana kao Šivina druga supruga. Durga je također jednostavno zvana Šakti („moć”), a poznata je i kao Mahadevi („velika božica”). Strašna Mahakali je često povezivana s Durgom.

Sveti tekst Devi Mahatmya[1] opisuje Durgu kao vrhovno biće[2] i gospodaricu svemira. Durga je glavno božanstvo u sekti hinduizma naziva šaktizam. Ona je božica mnogih imena, oblika i atributa, a najčešće ju se prikazuje kako pobjeđuje demona Mahishasuru,[3] jašući na tigru ili lavu. Hinduisti ju posebno štuju tijekom festivala zvanog Durga Puja.

Durgin kult je najjači na istoku Indije, ali ju štuju diljem Indije i Nepala.
