Dru World Order is the third studio album by American R&B group Dru Hill, released on November 26, 2002.

It is Dru Hill's first and only album to be released under Def Soul, an R&B division of Universal Music's Def Jam Recordings. It was a result of a company merger that had PolyGram, its music labels and artist roster consolidated into Universal in December 1998; Dru Hill's previous two albums were released under sister label Island Records, before they were drafted to Def Jam as a result of the merger.^[3]^[4]

Four years had passed since the group's previous album, Enter the Dru (1998), during which time the quartet imploded, yet later reformed in 2001. Prior to the release of Dru World Order, Dru Hill became a quintet, with fifth member Rufus "Scola" Waller added to the original lineup of Sisqó, Jazz, Nokio and Woody. This was the first time that Dru Hill was featured as five members; as well as the only album to feature Scola.^[5]

The album released three singles "I Should Be...", "I Love You" and "No Doubt".
