Durukti (Sanskrit: दुरुक्ति, romanized: Durukti) is the sister and wife of the asura Kali in Hindu mythology.^[4]

Durukti is derived from the Sanskrit roots दुर् (dur): "bad" and उक्ति (ukti): "speech"; lit. bad or offensive speech.^[5]

Durukti is the daughter of Krodha (anger) and Himsa (violence). She begets a son named Bhaya (fear) and a daughter named Mrutyu (death). She is also the grandmother of a boy named Niraya (hell) and a girl named Yatana (torture) begotten by her children Bhaya and Mrutyu. Durukti and Kali belong to the lineage of Adharma (impropriety), who grows up from the Malinapataka, a deadly dark and sinful affliction produced from Brahma's back at the time of creation. Durukti is the granddaughter of Lobha (greed) and Nikriti (dishonesty), great-granddaughter of Dambha (vanity) and Maya (illusion), and great-great-granddaughter of Adharma and Mithya (falsehood).^[2]

According to the Kalki Purana, Durukti dies shortly before Kali.^[2]
