Duranium is an extremely strong metallic substance used in alloys for hull construction of the starships and space stations of numerous cultures, including Andorians, Cardassians, Ferengi, Humans, Klingons, and Trabe.

The element of duranium is a naturally-occurring ore that is found most commonly in planetary crusts, Bajor being one of note.
