Federal Highway 36 (Carretera Federal 36) is a Federal Highway of Mexico. The highway, located entirely within the state of Durango, begins in the city of Topia and runs eastward to the town of Los Herrera.

Mexican Federal Highway 36 has an eastern terminus that starts from a "T" intersection with Mexican Federal Highway 23, as that highway extends between Santiago Papasquiaro Municipality and Tepehuanes Municipality. The intersection of Highway 36 with Highway 23 is 10 km north of Santiago Papasquiero and 42 km south of Tepehuanes. This intersection is 5 km. south of Las Herreras, Durango so this town may is referred to as the eastern terminus of the highway.

From the intersection with Highway 23, Mexican Federal Highway 36 climbs up into the chain of coastal mountains to the west. The paved road extends for about 106 km (66 mi) until the pavement ends on the crest of the coast range (25.092121°, -106.487220°).

At a point about 96 km (60 mi) from Santiago de Papasquiaro a road leads off of Highway 36 and extends 28 km (17 mi) to Topia, Durango. This intersection is located at (Long. 25.142146°, Lat. -106.452445°). The road from Highway 36 to Topia is a narrow dirt road. Although Topia is sometimes listed as the western terminus of Federal Highway 36, the pavement and improved construction for Highway 36 leads on past this intersection, for an additional 10 km (6.2 mi).
