Zackary Drucker (born 1983) is an American transgender artist and activist living in Los Angeles. She is also a producer on the TV series Transparent.

Zackary Drucker was born and raised in Syracuse, New York by what she calls "two really fantastic, progressive, educated parents." She earned an MFA from the California Institute of the Arts in 2007 and a BFA from the School of Visual Arts in 2005. In 2006, Drucker made her first television appearance as a contestant on Jeffrey Deitch’s Artstar.

After graduating from CalArts in 2007, Drucker decided to stay in Los Angeles. Photographs from her graduate thesis show, "5 East 73rd Street", feature photographs of mentor Flawless Sabrina. That same year, her work was included in a group exhibition called Girly Show: Pin-ups, Zines & the So-Called Third Wave at the Wignall Museum of Contemporary Art at Chaffey College in Rancho Cucamonga.

In 2011, Drucker and photographer Amos Mac collaborated to make a series of photographs in Drucker’s hometown of Syracuse, titled “Home is Where the Heart is, Distance is Where You Hang Your Heart.” This series was also published in magazine form, titled "TransLady Fanzine".

Drucker and collaborator Rhys Ernst were included in the first iteration of the Hammer Museum's Made in LA biennial. There they premiered the film "She Gone Rogue". The film was also included in Outfest 2013. "She Gone Rogue" includes several of Drucker's mentors including Holly Woodlawn, Vaginal Davis, and Flawless Sabrina.

In 2014 Drucker and Ernst exhibited "Relationship", at the Whitney Biennial, through a series of photos that chronicled the process and evolution of the couple's relationship and gender transitions. The photographic series was later exhibited at Luis De Jesus Gallery, where Drucker is represented. In 2016, “Relationship” was released as a book.
