In J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth, Drúwaith Iaur or Old Púkel land is a region on the west of Gondor.

Drúwaith Iaur is not a part of the realm of Gondor, and therefore also not of the Reunited Kingdom. It is home to the remnants of the Drúedain, the original inhabitants of the Ered Nimrais, who were dispersed by the Númenóreans as they were hostile to them.

The northern part of Drúwaith Iaur was also home to the Dunlendings, who feared the Drûg because they used poisoned arrows.
