'Yolande de Valois' (Tours, September 23, 1434 – August 23, 1478, Chambéry) was the daughter of King Charles VII of France and Marie d'Anjou. She married Duke Amadeus IX of Savoy in 1452.
Her husband's retiring disposition and epilepsy left her in control of the state, to struggle with the Savoyard barons. After his death, she was regent for her son Philibert until her own death.
With Amadeus she had 10 children:

# Anna (1455–1480), married Frederick of Aragon (1452–1504), prince of Altamura
# Carlo (1456–1471), Prince of Piedmont
# Luisa (1462–1503)
# Filiberto (1465–1482)
# Bernardo (1467)
# Carlo (1468–1490)
