Drumoyne (/drʌˈmɔɪn/; Scottish Gaelic: Druim Uaine)^[1] is now a district in the Scottish city of Glasgow. It is situated south of the River Clyde and is part of the former Burgh of Govan.^[2]

It is the birthplace of Sir Alex Ferguson, manager of Manchester United football club from November 1986 to 2013, the most successful manager in English football, in terms of championship-winning seasons. He was born at 357 Shieldhall Road on 31 December 1941, the home of his grandparents, although he grew up at a tenement in nearby Govan. His birthplace still exists today.

The suburb of Drummoyne in Sydney, Australia was named after the family home of William Wright, who hailed from the area.
