Yvonne Dorsey-Colomb (born August 19, 1952) is an American politician from the state of Louisiana. She represents the 14th district in the Louisiana State Senate as a member of the Democratic Party. She also served in the Louisiana House of Representatives, and was Speaker Pro Tempore.^[1]

Dorsey-Colomb and her husband, Sterling Colomb, Jr., reside in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Sterling founded the Colomb Foundation to raise awareness of breast cancer.

Dorsey-Colomb is listed among the state and local officials who have endorsed the unsuccessful re-election in 2014 of Democrat U.S. Senator Mary Landrieu.^[3]
