Drew Petrie (born 15 October 1982) is an Australian Rules footballer for the North Melbourne Football Club. Since debuting in 2001 he has played over 100 games for the club. He has played in a variety of roles for the Kangaroos including centre half-forward, defence, the ruck and key positions. He came of age in a game against the Western Bulldogs in 2007 when he inspired North Melbourne to win in Glenn Archer's 300th match kicking 7 goals - 6 of them coming in the first quarter. His form continued the following week kicking another 6 goals. Petrie had, by far, his best year of his career in the 2008 season.

Thus, Petrie was selected by Mick Malthouse for Australia in the International Rules against Ireland as a utility player. He was a key player during the second test at MCG, scoring two overs (3 points each) in quick succession early in the last quarter displying his impressive marking ability. He added a goal (6 points) in the final minute giving Australia faint hope of snatching a win. However, it was not enough, Ireland winning the series by 5 points (on aggregate).
