Dromore was one of the three district electoral areas in Banbridge, Northern Ireland which existed from 1985 to 2014. The district elected five members to Banbridge District Council, and formed part of the Lagan Valley constituencies for the Northern Ireland Assembly and UK Parliament.
It was created for the 1985 local elections, and contained the wards of Croob, Dromore North, Dromore South, Garran and Quilly. It was abolished for the 2014 local elections and largely moved into the Lagan River DEA.
