Янни́к Ноа́ (фр. Yannick Noah, род. 18 мая 1960 года в Седане, Арденны) — известный французский теннисист и поп-соул-певец. Экс первая ракетка мира в парном разряде и третья ракетка мира в одиночном (высшая в истории позиция в рейтинге для французов). Наиболее известен своей победой в открытом чемпионате Франции по теннису в 1983 году (первая и единственная победа французов в мужском одиночном разряде на всех турнирах Большого шлема в «Открытую эру») и в качестве высококлассного капитана команд на Кубок Дэвиса и Кубок федерации. Всего за карьеру выиграл 23 турнира АТП в одиночном разряде и 16 турниров в парном. С тех пор, как Ноа покинул спорт, общественность знает его как исполнителя популярной музыки и, со своей матерью, — соучредителя благотворительной организации для детей из неблагополучных семей. Сын Янника Ноа Джоаким — игрок НБА.
