Yann Ehrlacher (born 4 July 1996) is a French auto racing driver who competes in the TCR World Tour for Geely Cyan Racing. He was the 2020 World Touring Car Cup winner and defended the title in 2021. He is the son of former racing driver Cathy Muller and Yves Ehrlacher, a former professional footballer.
