Francisco Javier Yeste Navarro (born December 6, 1979 in Bilbao) is a Spanish footballer who plays for Athletic Bilbao.

Yeste's usual position is attacking midfield or "in the hole" (although he can play on the left side), and he wears the number 10 shirt typical of this position. He is often considered the star of the Basque side.

After some scintillating displays in 2004/2005, Yeste won a callup for Spain, although he did not debut.
