Drumheller ( /drʌmˈhɛlər/) is a town (formerly a city) within the Red Deer River valley in the badlands of east-central Alberta, Canada. It is located 110 kilometres (68 mi) northeast of Calgary. The Drumheller portion of the Red Deer River valley, often referred to as Dinosaur Valley, has an approximate width of 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) and an approximate length of 28 kilometres (17 mi).

The town is named for Colonel Samuel Drumheller, who bought land in 1910 and started coal mining operations here in 1911. Drumheller became a railway station in 1912, a village in 1913, a town in 1916 and a city in 1930.

During the peak of the coal era (1920s) Drumheller's population exploded to approximately 3,000 and it became a city in 1930. Once Western Canada's largest coal producer, Drumheller now contributes to a vibrant energy sector and boasts Alberta's second largest natural gas deposit, the West Drumheller Field.

To benefit from Provincial and Federal grants, the City of Drumheller dropped its city status in favour of town status when it amalgamated with the Municipal District (M.D.) of Badlands No. 7 on January 1, 1998. As a result of the amalgamation, Drumheller became Alberta’s largest town in terms of area at 111 square kilometres (43 sq mi).
