Yale Romanization could refer to any of the romanization systems created at Yale University for the following four East Asian languages:

  • Yale romanization of Mandarin, developed in 1943 by the Yale sinologist George Kennedy.
  • Yale romanization of Cantonese, developed by Gerard P. Kok and published in 1958.
  • Yale romanization of Korean, developed by Samuel Elmo Martin and his colleagues at Yale University around 1942 about half a decade after McCune–Reischauer. It is the standard romanization of the Korean language in linguistics.
  • JSL romanization, a system for Japanese devised by Eleanor Jorden, which is sometimes called "Yale Romanization".
