Juncus drummondii is a species of rush known by the common name Drummond's rush. It is native to western North America from northern Canada and Alaska to New Mexico, where it grows in wet coniferous forest and alpine meadows and slopes. This is a perennial herb forming narrow, erect tufts to about 40 centimeters in maximum height. The leaves are basal and most have no real blades; instead they form a sheath around the stem a few centimeters long. The inflorescence is borne on the side of the stem toward the top. There is a long, cylindrical bract at the base which extends out past the flowers. Each flower is on a thin pedicel. The thick tepals are dark brown, sometimes with green striping and thin, transparent edges. There are six stamens with yellowish anthers, and red stigmas. The fruit is a capsule.

Juncus drummondii es una herbácea de la familia de las juncáceas. Es nativa de Norteamérica occidental desde el norte de Canadá y Alaska a Nuevo México, donde crece en lugares húmedos de bosques de coníferas y prados y laderas alpinos.
Es una hierba perenne que forma matas estrechas y erectas de unos 40 centímetros de altura máxima. Las hojas son basales y la mayoría no tienen hojas verdaderas, sino que forman una vaina alrededor del tallo de unos pocos centímetros de largo. La inflorescencia es soportada en el lado del vástago hacia la parte superior. Tiene una larga y cilíndrica bráctea en la base que se extiende más allá de las flores. Cada flor está en un delgado pedicelo. Los gruesos tépalos son de color marrón oscuro, a veces con rayas verdes y bordes finos y transparentes. Tiene seis estambres con anteras amarillas y rojos estigmas. El fruto es una cápsula.
