Drumsite is a village in Christmas Island. The village's population consists mostly of Chinese and European workers. A project that built townhouses in the village was built in 2013 amid concerns about asylum seekers going to Christmas Island.

The village itself is in the path of the migration routes of Christmas Island red crabs. Landmarks Bungalow 702 and the Drumsite Industrial Area are located within the village. They are both listed on the Australian Commonwealth Heritage List.
