Francis Drummond (also known in Spanish as Francisco Drummond) (1798 – 1827) was an Argentinian naval sailor who died in the naval Battle of Monte Santiago against the Brazilian Imperial Navy on 8 April 1827.

This battle was fought on 7–8 April 1827, during the Cisplatine War, between Argentina and Brazil. It was one of the most courageous and ferocious naval encounters in Argentine history.^[1]

Sergeant Major Drummond was on the 22-gun brigantine Independencia. He died on deck, firing his marooned ship's cannons instead of retreating.
