Dimitri Yachvili Markarian (born 19 September 1980 in Brive-la-Gaillarde, Corrèze) is a French former rugby union footballer who played as a scrum-half for Biarritz and France.

With his previous club, Gloucester, he was champion of England in 2002.

After the end of his playing career, he became a rugby consultant, a career he began while still a player.

Of Georgian and Armenian descent, his father Michel Yachvili was a French international before him.

His paternal grandfather Chalva (Charles) was a Georgian soldier in the Soviet Army during WWII who was taken prisoner by the Wehrmacht in France, subsequently escaping to participate in the French Resistance in the province of Limousin, where he settled after hostilities.

He began his club career at Gloucester Rugby where he was a replacement in the 2002 Zurich Premiership final (the year before winning the play-offs constituted winning the English title) in which Gloucester defeated Bristol Rugby.

Yachvili made his international debut in November 2002 in a 35–3 victory against Canada.

After the retirement of Fabien Galthié, Yachvili was frequently part of the French starting 15.

2005

With this club, he also won two French championship titles in 2005 and 2006.

During the 2005 Six Nations Championship he gained his position as the first choice scrum-half for the France national team.

Yachvili broke his kicking tee the evening before the match against England at Twickenham, which forced Serge Betsen to call upon his former Biarritz teammate Maurice Fitzgerald to hunt for a tee locally and deliver it to the French team hotel.

He also captained the France national team, surrendering the captaincy permanently for the 2005 summer tour to South Africa, which he missed through injury.

Following an injury sustained in the World Cup, his club appearances were limited the subsequent season.
