Yvette est une nouvelle de Guy de Maupassant, publiée en 1884 Yvette, nouvelle ayant pour cadre le monde des courtisanes, constitue une réécriture du récit Yveline Samoris, parue en 1882. La nouvelle paraît pour la première dans le recueil homonyme en 1884.L'héroïne, jeune fille naïve, tente de se suicider quand elle prend conscience qu'elle risque de devenir une demi-mondaine comme sa mère, la pseudo-marquise Obardi. Contrairement à Yveline (dans la nouvelle Yveline Samoris), Yvette survivra pour tomber sans doute dans les bras du viveur Servigny qui la convoitait depuis longtemps.
