Yvonne Deslandres (February 8, 1923 – December 12, 1986) was a French writer, curator, archivist, and art historian.[2] She specialized in costume and adornment.[1][2]

She studied at École Nationale des Chartes. She worked for François Boucher as his assistant at the Carnavalet Museum, and later for his Union Française des Arts du Costume (UFAC), which she took over after his death in 1966. She became curator for the Musée de la mode et du textile from 1983 after the UFAC merged with it.
