Gurley is a small town in the northwest of New South Wales, Australia between Narrabri and Moree. The Newell Highway and the North-West railway line pass through the township. A now-closed railway station opened in 1897.

Gurley Siding Post Office opened on 16 March 1898 and was renamed Gurley in 1917.

In 2022, Gurley was listed by the Australian Taxation Office as having a negative average taxable income of -$23,484. This was the lowest value reported nationally, which was likely attributed to the area's heavy reliance on agriculture and unfavourable growing conditions.
