Ďurková – a peak with a height of 1750 m a.s.l. in the Low Tatras in Slovakia. It is located in the western part of the Low Tatras, in their main ridge, between Zámostská hoľa (1630 m a.s.l.) in the west and Chabenec (1955 m a.s.l.) in the north-east. It is separated from Zámostská hoľa by a shallow, nameless and grassy pass, from Chabenec by the wide, also mountainous Sedlo Ďurkovej (1709 m a.s.l.). To the south, a side ridge runs from the peak, which, through the Struhárske sedlo pass (1355 m a.s.l.), the massive Struhár (1471 m a.s.l.) and Obrštín (1008 m a.s.l.), descends into the forks of Łomnistá and Jasenánský Potok. To the north, it borders Mestská hora (1529 m a.s.l.).

The peak is made of granite, which, however, only emerges to the surface in the form of large billows in the northern and western parts of the elevation.

The peak is covered with mountain vegetation, on the northern slopes high below the peak there are dwarf pine thickets. From the top there is a vast view of the Low Tatras, the Western Tatras, the Choč Mountains, the Oravská Magura, the Żywiec-Orava Beskids, the Malá Fatra, the Veľká Fatra, the Štiavnické vrchy, the Javorie, the Poľana and the Veporské vrchy.

Ďurkova lies in the Low Tatras National Park. On the southeastern slopes there is the Útulňa Ďurková pod Chabencom shelter.
