Drijeva (Serbian Cyrillic: Дријева), known in Venetian as Narenta, was a medieval customs town and marketplace located in what is today the village of Gabela, Bosnia and Herzegovina. It was held by the Kingdom of Serbia until the War of Hum (1326–29), when it was passed to the Banate of Bosnia. It was an early colony of the Republic of Ragusa established in the second half of the 14th century.

Ragusan merchants Mihailo Rastić (Latin: Michaeli de Resti/Rasti; fl. 1389–96) and Stefan Marinov (Latin: Stefanus Marini; fl. 1389–d. 1401) imported salt from Valona to Drijeva. Marinov's creditor was Ragusan merchant Radin Ilić (Latin: Radinus/Radino Hilich; fl. 1391–92) from Drijeva. Many merchants came from Drijeva. Names of individuals from Drijeva have been recorded in documents; examples include: Novak Radosalić (1406), powerful merchant Ostoja Radosalić (fl. 1419–32), servant Maroje Radosalić (fl. 1436–49), Radivoj Bosnić (January 1442), Vladislav Radosalić (fl. 1449–53), Radonja Radosalić (fl. 1457–64), and brothers Marko and Maroje Bosnić (1457).
