Yannick Jadot (French pronunciation: [janik ʒado] ^ⓘ; born 27 July 1967) is a French environmental activist and politician who ran for President of France in 2022, placing sixth with 4.6% of the vote. A member of The Ecologists (LÉ), he was elected to represent Paris in the Senate in 2023.

A member of the Greens from 1999, Jadot was a campaign director for Greenpeace France from 2002 to 2008. He headed his party's list for the West France constituency in the 2009 European Parliament election, in which he was elected to the European Parliament, where he held a seat until 2023. Following his party's primary, he was nominated as the Europe Ecology – The Greens (EELV) candidate in the 2017 French presidential election, before withdrawing and endorsing Socialist Party candidate Benoît Hamon. The EELV national list he headed in the 2019 European election came third with 13.5% of the vote.

In the 2021 Greens primary, Jadot was elected as the candidate of the Ecologist Pole alliance for the 2022 presidential election, in which he received 4.6% of the first-round vote.
