Il '''Direct Rendering Manager''' ('''DRM''') è una componente dell'infrastruttura del rendering diretto (DRI - [[Direct Rendering Infrastructure]]), un sistema che permette di utilizzare efficientemente l'accelerazione video (soprattutto quella legata al [[Computer grafica 3D|3D]]) nei sistemi [[Unix-like]].
