Draguć (Italian: Draguccio) is a small fortified village in Croatia's Istria County. Today it pertains to the municipality of Cerovlje.

There are several churches: Sant' Eliseo from the 12th century (frescoes form the 13th century), Madonna del Rosario, built in 1641 and San Rocco e San Sebastiano, frescoes by Antonio da Padova in 1529.

World-known surgeon Antonio Grossich (1849–1926) who in 1908 invented the application of Tincture of iodine as a way to treat the surgical field was born in Draguć.

Ethnic structure is marked with fluctuations in the 20th century, as it can be seen from the census data.

In 2004 La Femme Musketeer a made-for-television movie produced by Hallmark Entertainment and Larry Levinson Productions, was filmed in Draguć.
