Yves Van Der Straeten (born 18 January 1971) is a Belgian retired professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper, primarily in the Jupiler Pro League - the top flight of Belgian football. He had a career as a coach from 2009 until 2020.

Though never on the pitch during an international match, he was selected for the Belgian national squad four times throughout his senior career - most notably in October 2000, in a game against Latvia during the qualifying stages of the 2002 World Cup. The match, which was held in the Skonto Stadium in Latvia, was supposed to see Jan Moons on the bench for the Belgians, it is reported, but Moons' passport was expired, and as such Van Der Straeten took his place.{{cite web|url= http://www.maisfutebol.iol.pt/internacional/geral/van-der-straeten-ganha-lugar-na-belgica-gracas-a-passaporte-caducado |date=6 October 2000 |title= Van der Straeten ganha lugar na Bélgica graças a passaporte caducado (portuguese) |access-date=21 May 2016}} Ultimately, only starter Geert De Vlieger played.
