Derek Drouin (born March 6, 1990) is a Canadian retired track and field athlete who competes in the high jump. He won gold at the 2016 Summer Olympics, and was the 2015 World Champion.

He also won gold at the 2014 Commonwealth Games and the 2015 Pan American Games, and won a silver medal at the 2012 Summer Olympics and a bronze medal at the 2013 World Championships. Drouin was originally awarded the bronze at the 2012 Olympics which was retroactively changed to silver when the original gold medallist Ivan Ukhov was stripped of his medal for doping violations.

He was belatedly presented with the upgraded silver in a presentation during the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics, one of 10 Olympians who were presented with “reallocated” medals from previous Olympics. He holds both the world decathlon best and the world heptathlon best in the high jump with clearances of 2.28 m (7 ft 5+3⁄4 in) and 2.30 m (7 ft 6+1⁄2 in), respectively. Drouin's personal best jump of 2.40 m (7 ft 10+1⁄4 in), set in 2014, is the Canadian record and ranks him joint eighth on the overall list. In his college career, he was a five-time NCAA Champion in the high jump for the Indiana Hoosiers.
