Dranesville is a census-designated place (CDP) in Fairfax County, Virginia, United States. Dranesville is located on the Leesburg Pike (State Route 7) at its intersection with Georgetown Pike (State Route 193). The U.S. Census Bureau defines Dranesville as a census-designated place (CDP) with a population of 11,921 as of 2010. At the 2020 Census the population was 11,785.
The town is named for Washington Drane, a settler who moved there in 1810. Recognizing the traffic that would come to the intersection of two main roads, Drane began operating a combination hotel, tavern and store, which he named Drane's Tavern. Dranesville Tavern still stands and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
