The Rough, Tough West is a 1952 American Western film directed by Ray Nazarro and starring Charles Starrett, Jock Mahoney and Carolina Cotton. This was the sixty-third of 65 films in the Durango Kid series.{{cite book |last1=Blottner |first1=Gene |title=Columbia Pictures Movie Series, 1926–1955: The Harry Cohn Years |date=2011 |publisher=McFarland |isbn=9780786486724 |chapter=The Durango Kid }} At this late date the series relied on cost-cutting measures to stay within a low budget, so this film contains footage from older Starrett westerns.
