The Drury ministry was the combined cabinet (formally the Executive Council of Ontario) that governed Ontario from November 14, 1919, to July 16, 1923. It was led by the 8th Premier of Ontario, Ernest Charles Drury. The ministry was made up of members of the United Farmers of Ontario, which commanded a majority of the seats in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario.

The ministry replaced the Hearst ministry following the 1919 Ontario general election. The Drury ministry governed through the 15th Parliament of Ontario.

Drury was defeated in the 1923 Ontario general election. He was succeeded as Premier of Ontario by Howard Ferguson.
