Draguć (Italian: Draguccio) is a small fortified village in Croatia's Istria County. Today it pertains to the municipality of Cerovlje.[3]

There are several churches: Sant' Eliseo from the 12th century (frescoes form the 13th century), Madonna del Rosario, built in 1641 and San Rocco e San Sebastiano, frescoes by Antonio da Padova in 1529.

World-known surgeon Antonio Grossich (1849–1926) who in 1908 invented the application of tincture of iodine as a way to treat the surgical field was born in Draguć.
