Duero, officially the Municipality of Duero (Cebuano: Munisipyo sa Duero; Tagalog: Bayan ng Duero), is a 4th class municipality in the province of Bohol, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 18,861 people.[3]

It may have been named after the Douro (Duero) in the Iberian peninsula. Roman Catholicism was introduced to the town in 1860 by a Spanish priest. Duero was established as a municipality two years later, in 1862, and a convent was constructed in 1868.[5]

Duero is 77 kilometres (48 mi) from Tagbilaran.

Duero celebrates its fiesta on December 8, to honor the town patron Immaculate Conception.[6]
