Durabuild Bus was a South African manufacturer specializing in the production of bus and coach bodies. Based in Hammanskraal, near Pretoria, the company played an important role in the development of public transportation in South Africa during the 1980s, 1990s, and early 2000s.

As a member of the Comark Group, Durabuild manufactured vehicles for both urban transit systems and intercity services. Its bodies were mounted on various chassis from renowned manufacturers such as Mercedes-Benz, MAN, and AAD, and were used by numerous transportation operators across the country.

Durabuild buses stood out for their design, which was tailored to South African operating conditions, combining durability, ease of maintenance, and high passenger capacity. Several of their models were notably in service with iconic companies such as Golden Arrow Bus Services.

As a result of the financial difficulties faced by the Comark Group, Durabuild ceased operations in 2002.
