Dermot Drummy (born 16 January 1961) is an English football coach and former professional player. He was recently the head coach of Crawley Town, a position he took up in April 2016 after serving three years as manager of the Chelsea reserves and two years as the youth team manager.

Drummy, who played as a midfielder, began his career with the youth team at Arsenal. He never made the first team at Arsenal, but did make five appearances in the Football League on loan at Blackpool. He later played non-league football for Hendon, Wealdstone, Enfield, Ware and St Albans City. While at Hendon, Drummy scored in the final of the 1988 Middlesex Senior Charity Cup.

Drummy was player-manager at Ware during the 1996–97 season. He left halfway through to become a youth coach at Arsenal, before becoming manager of the Chelsea Academy in January 2009. The academy won the 2009–10 FA Youth Cup in his second year in charge, beating the Aston Villa Academy 3–2 on aggregate — the academy's first Youth Cup victory in 49 years. After a successful spell managing the youth team, Drummy was appointed reserve team manager in July 2011, replacing Steve Holland who went on to work with the first team.
