HMAS Durraween (F93) was an auxiliary minesweeper operated by the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) during World War II. The ship was built as a trawler by Collingwood Shipbuilding Company at Collingwood, Ontario, Canada, and launched in 1919 as Seville. The ship operated in Australian waters from 1928, and was requisitioned by the RAN in mid-1940. Durraween operated in Bass Strait as part of Minesweeping Group 54, and was responsible for clearing mines laid by German merchant raiders. She was returned to civilian service after paying off in late 1945, and was broken up in 1952.
