Yoann Folly (born 6 June 1985 in Paris) is a French footballer of Togolese descent.

The cultured France Under-21 international's preferred position is in central midfield, but he can also play on the wing. He is a hardworking athletic player who can read the game well.

Folly was brought to England in 2003 by then Southampton manager Gordon Strachan who paid St. Étienne £250,000 to secure his signature. After numerous managerial changes at Southampton, Folly struggled to get in the team and loan spells at Nottingham Forest and Preston North End followed.

In January 2006, Folly was signed on loan by Sheffield Wednesday to ease injury problems as the then manager Paul Sturrock had been impressed by him after taking over as Saints manager from Strachan in 2004.

Folly joined Wednesday on a permanent basis following the end of the season, rejecting the offer of a new contract at St. Mary's - however, Southampton received an undisclosed compensation fee under FA rules due to him being under the age of 24.
