'''Gyümé Dratsang''' (Tib. རྒྱུད་སྨད་གྲྭ་ཚང་, Wyl. ''rgyud smad grwa tshang'') or '''Lower Tantric College''' is one of two the main tantric colleges of the [[Gelug]] tradition with [[Gyütö Dratsang]]. It was founded in [[Lhasa]] in 1440 by one of [[Jé Tsongkhapa]]'s students, [[Sherab Senge]] (1383-1445). 

The oldest former abbot of Gyümé receives the title of [[Jangtsé Chöjé]] and becomes a candidate for the [[Ganden Tripa]] position at the head of the [[Gelugpa]] School.
