Drumlane (Irish: Droim Leathain, meaning "The Broad Ridge") is a monastery located in Milltown, County Cavan, Ireland. Located at the monastic site is an abbey, church and round tower which date back to 555. Drumlane was founded by Saint Columba, although Saint Mogue is generally associated with the monastery's foundation, evidence suggests that the foundation of Drumlane is older than his time. In 1261 the monastery was burned by the O'Rourkes, a rival clan of the O'Reillys of East Breifne.

The original monastic buildings were made of wood, but were replaced in the 12th century when the monastery was taken over by the Augustinians. The Round Tower is the most distinguished part of the monastery, a tall circular stone structure that stands beside the church and is the only remaining round tower in the Diocese of Kilmore.
