Drouwenermond is a village in the Dutch province of Drenthe. It is a part of the municipality of Borger-Odoorn, and lies about 23 km north of Emmen.

The village was first mentioned in 1841 as "Drouwender-Mond of Drouwener-Mond", and means "(canal) which has its mouth (at a main canal) belonging to Drouwen". It refers to an eponymous canal which was dug in 1822 to excavate the peat in the area. In 1817, the Province of Groningen permits Drenthe to transport peat through their province and dig canals towards the Stadskanaal.
