Pinus durangensis, the Durango pine, is a pine tree species endemic to the Sierra Madre Occidental mountain range of north-western Mexico.

The tree is found from Chihuahua and Sonora, southwards through Durango and Jalisco, to Michoacán.

It is a moderately high altitude species, growing at 1,500–2,800 metres (4,900–9,200 ft).

Pinus durangensis is an evergreen tree reaching 25–40 metres (82–131 ft) in height, with a trunk up to 1 metre (3.3 ft) in diameter and a broad, rounded crown.
