Yannick Jauzion (born 28 July 1978 in Graulhet, Tarn) is a French rugby union footballer. He plays at centre for Stade Toulousain and the French national team.
He is a key player behind Toulouse's and France's recent achievements. He is a member of the Toulouse team that reached the Heineken Cup final in 2003, 2004 and 2005. He was named as the man of the match in the 2005 Heineken Cup Final as Toulouse defeated Stade Français. He earned his first national cap on June 16, 2001 against South Africa. He played in France's Grand Slam winning team of 2002 and 2004, but was ruled out of the 2006 Six Nations Championship through injury as France emerge as champions. He played all the matches during the 2007 Six Nations Championship that France won.
With a large physical presence combined with speed and flair, Jauzion is a superb line breaker and has the ability to break tackles and is a good crash ball player, making him arguably one of the best centres in the world.
