The Eora (; also Yura) are an Aboriginal Australian people of New South Wales. Eora is the name given by the early colonising British military officers to a group of Aboriginal people belonging to the clans along the coastal area of what is now known as the Sydney basin, in New South Wales, Australia. The Eora spoke a dialect of the language of the Darug people, whose traditional lands lie further inland within the Sydney basin, to the west of the Eora.
