Drvengrad (nem. Küstendorf; Kustendorf) je etno selo u Srbiji kod Mokre Gore u opštini Užice. Drvengrad je smešten na razmeđi Zlatibora i Tare.
Osnovano je i izgrađeno na brdu Mećavnik po zamisli filmskog reditelja Emira Kusturice za potrebe snimanja filma „Život je čudo“. Mećavnik nadvisuje selo Mokra Gora i visinski je na istom nivou sa železničkom stanicom Jatare kroz koju prolazi pruga uskog koloseka „Šarganska osmica“.
Drvengrad je etno selo u gradskom obličju i strukturi. U obliku je pravougaonika čija duža (glavna) osa na jednom kraju ima ulaznu kapiju, odakle polazi glavna ulica i prostire se do drugog gde se nalazi mala drvena pravoslavna crkva sa drvenim zvonikom. Crkva je građena po ugledu na ruske crkve brvnare (videti sliku u galeriji) i posvećena je Svetom Savi. U centralnom delu sela je trg popločan drvenom kockom i sečenim drvenim pragovima i opkoljen brvnarama. Brvnare su autentične i prenete, neke iz tih krajeva, a neke iz Republike Srpske, u vidu skeleta i postavljene na kamene temelje. U svakoj od njih nalaze se sadržaji karakteristični za grad:
galerija slika Macola
biblioteka
bioskop Andergraund (smešten pod zemljom)
poslastičarnica Anica, sa domaćim kolačima i prirodnim sokovima
nacionalni restoran Lotika
prodavnica narodne radinosti toga kraja
Ulice u selu su dobile imena po poznatim ličnostima kulture i nauke.
Stručni žiri briselske Fondacije za arhitekturu Filip Rotije je ovo Kusturičino graditeljstvo proglasio najboljim arhitektonskim ostvarenjem u protekle tri godine u Evropi.


Drvengrad (Serbian cyrillic: Дрвенград), meaning Wooden Town in Serbia, (also known as Küstendorf meaning "Coast Village") is a traditional village that the film director Emir Kusturica had built for his film Life Is a Miracle. It is in the region of Užice, two hundred kilometres southwest of Serbia's capital, Belgrade. It is located near Mokra Gora and Višegrad, best known for Ivo Andrić's Nobel-winning novel, The Bridge on the Drina. Emir was the 2005 recipient of the Philippe Rotthier European Architecture award[1].
Drvengrad is also known as Küstendorf, which is German for "Coast Village." Ironically, Drvengrad is located in the mountains in the region of Užice. Kusturica has also been known to call it Mećavnik, which is the name of the neighbouring village.

Drvengrad has a library, known as the "Ivo Andrić Library"; an artist gallery named "Macola" in honor of sculptor Dragan Jovicevic which was previously known as "Anika," after a character from Ivo Andrić's prose; "Cinema Stanley Kubrick"; a main house which houses a cinema-hall in the cellar, a living room, a guest room, a closed yard, a swimming pool, a gymnasium, a sauna and private rooms for the Kusturica family; a sports hall; a restaurant; a cake shop, as well as a souvenir shop; and finally, a Church dedicated to St. Sava.
Nearby is also a ski domain compromised of four ski trails, as well as a hotel named "Mladost" (meaning "Youth") for visitors.
The streets in the village bear the names of different famous people: Ernesto "Che" Guevara, Diego Maradona, Miodrag Petrović Čkalja, Federico Fellini, Ingmar Bergman, Novak Djoković and of course, Ivo Andrić, after whom the main street is named.
