Mihail Drumeș (born Mihail V. Dumitrescu; November 26, 1901–February 27, 1982) was an Ottoman-born Romanian prose writer and playwright. He was born into an Aromanian family in Ohrid, a city that formed part of the Ottoman Empire's Manastir Vilayet and is now in the Republic of Macedonia. His parents were Vasile Dimitrie (later Dumitrescu), a bucket-maker, and his wife Despina (née Gero). The family emigrated to Balș, in the Oltenia region of the Romanian Old Kingdom. Mihail attended primary school there, followed by high school in Caracal and Craiova, belatedly taking his degree in 1935. He studied at the literature and philosophy faculty of Bucharest University, graduating in 1928. For a time, he was a high school teacher, later moving on to the university system.
