Dufferin is a rural municipality in the Pembina Valley Region of the province of Manitoba in Western Canada. The separately administered town of Carman lies near its centre.

The R.M. was named after Frederick Hamilton-Temple-Blackwood, 1st Marquess of Dufferin and Ava who was Governor General of Canada (1872–78). The now rural municipality was described as a new settlement in 1874.
