Yves Duhard (born 11 July 1955) is a French former international rugby union player.[1]

A lock from Bagnères-de-Bigorre, Duhard began playing rugby union at the age of seven and spent his entire career with Stade Bagnérais, featuring in two French Championship finals with his hometown club.[2]

Duhard was capped once by France, against England at the Parc des Princes during the 1980 Five Nations, debuting alongside Manuel Carpentier and Serge Gabernet.[3] England won by four points and Duhard was dropped from the team, at least in part as punishment for a kicking incident during the match.[4]
