Drammens Turnforening, often called Drammen Turn is a Norwegian gymnastics club from Drammen.

The club was founded on 4 October 1857, and is therefore Norway's third oldest sports club after Oslo TF (founded 1855) and Arendal TF (founded 17 May 1857). [1]

Gymnast Flemming Solberg represented the club, [2] so did the much older Aksel Hansen (Olympic bronze), [3] Frithjof Olsen (Olympic gold, silver, bronze), [4] Arne Knudsen [5] and Odd Lie. [6]

It formerly had a section for track and field. Olympic high jumper Otto Monsen took the national titles in 1916 and 1917. [1] Ferdinand Bie also represented the club. [7]
