Yves Brunet (born 25 August 1950) is a French former international rugby union player.
A USA Perpignan hooker, Brunet was capped twice for the France national team, debuting against the Springboks at Bloemfontein during a tour of South Africa in 1975. His other appearance came two years later against the Pumas on a tour of Argentina. He was the second member of his family to represent France, following elder brother Lambert who was internationally capped in rugby league.[1][2]
Brunet is the father of the French singer known as Luce.[3]
