François Xavier Yombandje (born 9 July 1956, in Koumra) is a former Central African Roman Catholic bishop.
Yombandje was born on 9 July 1956, in Koumra, Chad. He was ordained a priest in 1985. In 1997 he became bishop of Kaga-Bandoro and in 2004 of Bossangoa. He was chairman of the Central African Episcopal Conference.
