Dromineer (Irish: Drom Inbhir, meaning "ridge of the river mouth") is a small village in North Tipperary, Ireland. It is situated on the shores of Lough Derg on the River Shannon. The village is located 10 kilometres north of Nenagh. It is a civil parish in the historical barony of Ormond Lower.
Home to an 11th century towerhouse, idyllic scenery, a public harbour and other facilities, it is a popular place to visit, especially for those out boating on the lake. The name Dromineer in Irish is "Drom Inbhir", meaning the back or the ford of the river.
Amenities in Dromineer include restaurant and pub (The Whiskey Still), accommodation (such as The Dromineer Hostel) and a children's playground.
Dromineer is home to the Lough Derg Lifeboat, which is the RNLI's third inland lifeboat station and was the first inland station in the Republic of Ireland.
