Drumburgh is a small settlement in Cumbria, England. It is 13 kilometres (8 mi) northwest of the City of Carlisle and is on the course of Hadrian's Wall.

It was the site of the Roman fort of Coggabata. In the 14th century a tower house known as Drumburgh Castle was built here. It was rebuilt as a fortified farmhouse in 1518. It has extremely thick walls built with stone from Hadrian's Wall.
