Yaṯiʿe (Old Arabic: ; ), also spelled Iatie, was a queen of the Nomadic Arab tribes of Qedar who ruled in the 8th century BC, circa 730 BC.

Yatie sent her forces, headed by her brother Basqanu ( Bâsqânu), to aid Merodach-Baladan in his bid to hold on to Babylon. Merodach-Baladan, the leader of the Chaldeans, was also supported by an army from Elam and together these faced the Assyrian forces of Sennacherib on his first campaign in 703 BC.
