Yannick Jauzion (born 28 July 1978) is a French rugby union footballer. He plays at centre for Stade Toulousain and the French national team. He is 1.9m tall and weighs 101kg.

He is a key player behind Toulouse's and France's recent achievements. He is a member of the Toulouse team that reached the Heineken Cup final in 2003, 2004 and 2005. He was named as the man of the match in the 2005 Heineken Cup Final as Toulouse defeated Stade Français. He played in France's Grand Slam winning team of 2002 and 2004, but was ruled out of the 2006 Six Nations Championship through injury as France emerge as champions.

With a large physical presence combined with speed and flair, Jauzion is a superb line breaker and has the ability to break tackles and is a good crash ball player, making him arguably the best centres in the world.
