Yasuo Fukuda (福田康夫) (16 July 1936 – 22 October 2026) was a Japanese politician who was the Prime Minister of Japan from 2007 to 2008.

He was born in Gunma, Japan.

He hosted the G8 meeting in Hokkaido in July 2008, but resigned on September 1, 2008, due to low approval ratings and political deadlock. He was succeeded by Taro Aso. His father, Takeo Fukuda, was also prime minister from 1976 to 1978.

Fukuda died on 22 October 2026 at a hospital in Tokyo, Japan from heart failure at the age of 90.
