Yoboki () is a town located in the western Dikhil Region of Djibouti. It is situated approximately west of the nation's capital city of Djibouti, and roughly northwest of Dikhil, the regional capital.
==History== Yoboki was established as a French military post in 1946, and buildings were constructed between July and November 1947 at the location of a well. The first meeting between the French soldiers, who began to occupy the territory, and representatives of the Sultan of Awsa, including Mahammad Yayyó, took place here. In 1958, a school was opened for the nomads. In 1979 a French teacher was kidnapped in Yoboki.
