I am creating a plugin for october and need to write some functionality on backend user logout. I have seen that there is a event for user login which words perfectly.

Event::listen('backend.user.login', function($user) { //Code Here });

I have gone through the documentation and was unable to find any such event. Is there any similar event for logout? If not how can I achieve this.?

Interesting...

I need the same functionality myself. There apparently is no such event :(

The API documentation for the login event is located at:
https://octobercms.com/docs/api/backend/user/login

The API documentation for all other system events is located at:
https://octobercms.com/docs/api (look for Events in the side menu)

The Model firing the event: https://github.com/octobercms/october/blob/develop/modules/backend/models/User.php

The controller (backend/auth/{function_name}: https://github.com/octobercms/october/blob/develop/modules/backend/controllers/Auth.php

Alternative for the missing event

If you study the logout link for backend users you will find that it directs to a page (/backend/backend/auth/signout).

The following code is tested and works (place inside your own Plugin.php):

(...)
use Backend\Controllers\Auth;
class Plugin extends PluginBase
{
    public $elevated = true;// important 
    public function boot()
    { 
        Auth::extend(function ($controller) {
            $controller->bindEvent('page.beforeDisplay', function ($action, $params) use ($controller) {
                if ($action === 'signout') { 
                    Log::info('signing out...');
                }
            });
        });
    }

(...)
