Harrua is a Quean fortress located on the Cilician plain. In the eighth century BC, perhaps only for a short time, Phrygia controlled the territory in which Harrua is was located. The Assyrian king Sargon II (r. 721-705), after his armies defeated the Phrygian king Midas (= Mitâ of Musku), restored Harrua to Que, which was then a province of the Assyrian Empire.

The location of Harrua is presently unknown. From the inscriptions of Sargon II, it is certain that it was near another Quean fortress (Ušnanis), a place that was also taken away from Que by the Phrygians. One text of that Assyrian king mentions Harrua and Ušnanis together with a third fortress: Qumasi. 

E. Forrer (1920) and P. Naster (1938) tentatively identified Harrua with classical Seleucia ad Calycadnum/Hyria (modern Silifke), in Cilicia Tracheia. That proposed location, however, is well outside the territorial reach of Que (as already note, e.g., by A. Bagg [2007]) and, therefore, one must look for a location a bit closer to Que (Cilicia Pedias), perhaps near the Cilician Gates
