Yoichiro Nambu (南部 陽一郎, Nambu Yōichirō, 18 Januari 1921 – 5 Julai 2015) seorang ahli fizik teori Jepun-Amerika dan profesor di Universiti Chicago. Terkenal dengan sumbangannya kepada fizik teori, dia dianugerahkan separuh daripada Hadiah Nobel Fizik 2008 atas penemuannya pada 1960 berkaitan mekanisme pecahan simetri spontan dan mekanisme Higgs. Separuh lagi hadiah dibahagikan sama rata antara Makoto Kobayashi dan Toshihide Maskawa "atas penemuan asal usul simetri pecahan yang meramalkan kewujudan sekurang-kurangnya tiga keluarga kuark dalam alam."
