Yannick Anister Sagbo-Latte (born 12 April 1988), known as Yannick Sagbo, is a professional footballer who plays as a striker for Umm Salal and the Ivory Coast national team.

Sagbo was born in Marseille, France and began his football career playing for his local side in SC Air Bel, in Marseille, before joining Monaco during the winter of 2004. He was a part of Monaco's 07–08 CFA squad that won the reserve's professional title (a championship that is reserve for the professional clubs reserves playing in the CFA) scoring 13 goals in 25 matches. Following the season on 13 May 2008, he signed his first professional contract, agreeing to a three-year deal keeping him at the club until 2011.

He officially joined the first-team squad for pre-season in July 2008, where he was handed the number 9 kit. Sagbo made three appearances during the pre-season, starting them all including their opening friendly match against fellow Ligue 1 side Toulouse FC, Croatian side NK Zagreb, and Olympique Marseille. He proceeded to make his professional debut on 8 November 2008 in a 0–1 loss to Olympique Lyonnais, coming on as a substitute playing 17 minutes.

On 26 July 2013, Sagbo signed a two-year contract for an undisclosed fee with English Premier League side Hull City. He made his debut for Hull, on the first day of the 2013–14 season, playing the full 90 minutes in a 2–0 loss away at Chelsea. On 24 August 2013, against Norwich City at the KC Stadium, a confrontation between players saw Sagbo given a straight red card for violent conduct. He scored his first goal in English football on 19 October 2013, away at Everton in a 2–1 defeat, having come on as a substitute. Later in the season, he scored Hull reach their first-ever FA Cup Final by scoring their first goal in a 5–3 FA Cup semi-final defeat of Sheffield United at Wembley Stadium; he had also scored an equaliser earlier in the competition to prevent their elimination. In the final, which Hull lost to Arsenal, Sagbo was an unused substitute.
