Yves Malquier (born 7 May 1956) is a French former rugby union international.
Born in Sigean, Malquier played for RC Narbonne and was a member of the side's 1978–79 Brennus Shield win.[1]
Malquier gained a France cap in the 1979 Five Nations Championship as a number eight against Scotland at the Parc des Princes, selected along with new cap Jean-François Marchal to add extra bulk to the pack.[2] He scored two tries in a 21–17 France win and was subsequently picked for that year's tour of Fiji and New Zealand, but wasn't capped further after injuring himself in one of the tour matches.[3][1]
