The Drifters on pitkäaikainen yhdysvaltalainen doo-wop/R&B-lauluyhtye, joka koki suurimman suosionsa vuosien 1953 ja 1962 välillä, vaikkakin useat yhtyeen sirpaleista muodostuneet ryhmät esiintyvät edelleen. Yhtye perustettiin Billy Ward & the Dominoes -yhtyeestä tunnetuksi tulleen Clyde McPhatterin taustayhtyeeksi vuonna 1953.
