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.[2]

Gurley Siding Post Office opened on 16 March 1898 and was renamed Gurley in 1917.[3]

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.[4]
