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.

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.
