Yannick Boli (born 13 January 1988) is a French-born Ivorian footballer who currently plays for China League One club Dalian Yifang as a forward.

His previous clubs include Paris Saint-Germain, Le Havre, Nîmes Olympique and Bulgarian Chernomorets Burgas. He is the nephew of former national team player Basile and Lens striker Roger.

Born in Saint-Maur-des-Fossés, Boli began his playing career with Ligue 1 side PSG, joining them when he was eleven years old.

He was part of the side's B team from 2005–07. In 2006, he helped their under-18s side to win the French Under-18 Championship and in his last season, he was a top scorer.

On 6 May 2008 he scored a 77th-minute winner against Ligue 2 side Amiens SC, in the semi-finals of the Coupe de France to send PSG into the final, where he was an unused substitute as they lost 1–0 to Lyon. On playing for PSG Boli said, "PSG are the club of my dreams and I joined when I was 11. The fact that I'm now playing here with the first team gives me immense pride."

Boli was loaned to newly promoted Ligue 1 side Le Havre AC on 18 October 2008 until the end of the 2008–09 season, making his debut seven days later in a 2–1 home win over Valenciennes at Stade Jules Deschaseaux. He made a total of eleven league appearances, before returning to PSG in July 2009.
