We develop the idea of local duality symmetry (LDS) in gauge field theories. Using Clifford algebra techniques we construct dually invariant scalar Lagrangian of electrodynamics in the presence of sources and demonstrate that in tensor formalism it is exactly the same as the usual one. Then we localize the duality symmetry with two possible options for the appearing pseudovector field - massive and massless. The first option might be interpreted as a candidate for dark matter. Perspectives of the application of LDS in QCD are briefly discussed.
