Driulis González Morales (born September 21, 1973 in Guantánamo) is a female Cuban judoka who has won four Olympic medals, including a gold medal in 1996. Because of pregnancy, she skipped the 2001 World Championships. After her son's birth González changed from weight category U57 to U63. She carried the flag for her native country at the opening ceremony of the 2007 Pan American Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Along with Australia's Mária Pekli and Japan's Ryoko Tamura-Tani, Driulis is the first female judoka to compete at five Olympics. The only other judokas to compete at five Olympics are Belgian Robert Van de Walle and Puerto Rican judoka-bobsledder Jorge Bonnet.
