Yaw Yeboah (born 28 March 1997) is a Ghanaian professional footballer who plays as a striker for FC Twente on loan from Manchester City.
Yeboah joined Manchester City in 2014, after graduating from the Right to Dream Academy.
On 14 August 2015 it was announced that Yeboah would be loaned to Lille OSC for one year. He made his debut for Lille OSC on 25 October 2015 against Olympique de Marseille in Ligue 1. He would only make 3 appearances for Lille, playing a total of 174 minutes.
On 21 July 2016 Yeboah made a loan move to Dutch side FC Twente. He scored his first goal for the club on 27 August, in a 3-1 win over Sparta Rotterdam. His second goal came two months later on 22 October, in a 2–0 win over Go Ahead Eagles.

Yeboah received his first call up on 26 August 2016, for a 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualification match against Rwanda and a friendly against Russia. He made the bench for the match against Russia, but failed to make an appearance.
