Yves Calvi (born Yves Krettly on August 30, 1959) is a French journalist and television presenter.

Yves Calvi was born in Boulogne-Billancourt in the department of Hauts-de-Seine. He graduated in modern literature and was a former student at the Institut d'Études Politiques de Paris. He decided to change his family name and take the pseudonym of his father, composer and conductor Gérard Calvi, when he joined Radio France Internationale in 1986 and before joining France Info. He was close to one of the founders of France Info and joined him in 1994 when he rectified the station RMC and then Europe 1 two years later.

After becoming a television presenter on the local channel Télé Lyon Métropole, Yves Calvi became the familiar voice of the station Europe 1. He presented the discovery radio program Forum for six seasons from 1996 to 2002. He also presented a morning part from Monday to Friday and an afternoon part on Sunday for six seasons. He then presented the program Europe Midi for two seasons from 2003 to 2005. In September 2005, he left Europe 1 to become a television presenter again.

Yves Calvi joined France Inter in September 2007 in the new team to produce and present the new program Nonobstant from Monday to Friday. In 2008, he refused an offer from RTL proposing that he present the morning program; preferring to pursue presenting his own television programs. In August 2010, after leaving France Inter, he joined RTL to host a daily interview called Le choix d'Yves Calvi, pursuing his collaborations with France 5 and France 2.
