Dror (Hebrew: דרור) is a planned community town currently under construction in the northeastern Negev desert, in southern Israel. The town is located on the slopes of Mount Hiran, along the route between Meitar and Arad. The settlement is being built on the land previously occupied by the unrecognized Bedouin village of Umm al-Hiran.

The settlement was originally named Hiran, a temporary name inspired by the nearby Mount Hiran. In 2022, the town's name was officially changed to "Dror". Or Movement, a movement that promotes Jewish settlements, stands behind the construction and the promotion of the town.
