Downey is a city in the Marsh Valley in southern Bannock County, Idaho, United States.[4] It is part of the Pocatello Metropolitan Statistical Area. The population was 571 at the 2020 census.

The community was reportedly named after one Mr. Downey, a director of the Union Pacific Railroad. However, researchers have been unable verify existence of said Mr. Downey. Notwithstanding, some have asserted he was a track worker, not a director.[5][6]
