La Haute-Yamaska ({{IPA|fr|la ot jamaska}}, {{lit|The Upper Yamaska}}) is a regional county municipality in the Estrie region of Quebec, Canada. Its seat is Granby.
It is named for its position at the height of the Yamaska River, which cuts through its southern part. It rises at Brome Lake located in neighbouring Brome-Missisquoi Regional County Municipality.
On January 1, 2010, the city of Bromont left La Haute-Yamaska; it was reclassified to the Brome-Missisquoi RCM.{{cite web |title=Modifications aux municipalités du Québec |url=http://www.stat.gouv.qc.ca/statistiques/divisions-territoriales/bulletins/modifications-municipalites-janv10.pdf |publisher=Institut de la statistique du Québec |access-date=November 25, 2019 |page=4 |language=fr}}
