Die woordeboekbetekenis van die woord "drijfvermoë" is die vermoë van 'n voorwerp of vloeistof om in 'n vloeistof of 'n gas te dryf of op te styg. Dit is die opwaartse krag wat uitgeoefen word op 'n voorwerp wat gedeeltelik of heeltemal in 'n vloeistof gedompel is, wat die swaartekrag teenstaan. Drijfvermoë is 'n fisiese eienskap wat afhang van die digtheid van die voorwerp of vloeistof en die volume van die voorwerp wat in die vloeistof ondergedompel is. Dit word dikwels gebruik om die vermoë van 'n boot of 'n skip te beskryf om op water te dryf, of die vermoë van 'n ballon of 'n borrel om in die lug op te styg.
