Margaret Drummond (c. 1340 - 31 January 1375) was the second queen of King David II of Scotland.

She was a daughter of Sir Malcolm Drummond, Thane of Lennox and Margaret Graham. Her father died c. 1346.

Margaret was first married to John Logie but they had no known children. She later served as a mistress to David II of Scotland who was widowed from his first wife Joan of The Tower in 1362.

Margaret and David II were married in Fife on February 20, 1364. Their marriage lasted for five years and resulted in no children. David II divorced her on March 20, 1369. The divorce was on grounds of infertility.

David was said to be planning a marriage to his mistress Agnes Dunbar, namesake daughter of Agnes Dunbar, 4th Countess of Moray but died on February 22, 1371 before being able to do so. He was childless at the time of death and was succeeded by his nephew, Robert II of Scotland, first king from the House of Stuart.
