Yuezhi ili Rouzhi (kineski: 月支, pinyin: yuè zhī ili ròu zhī; također 月氏, pinyin: yuè shì ili ròu shì; starokineski: Tokwar),[5] također poznati kaoDa Yuezhi ili Da Rouzhi (kineski: 大月支, dà yuè zhī ili dà ròu zhī, "Veliki Yuezhi") su bili drevni centralnoazijski narod.

Većina učenjaka vjeruje kako su bili Indoevropljani[6] odnosno srodni, a možda i istovjetni Toharima[7] (Τοχάριοι) koji se spominju u klasičnim izvorima.[8] Prvotno su naseljavali suhe stepe područja Tarimske zavale u današnjem Xinjiangu i zapadnom Gansuu u Kini, prije nego što su migrirali u Transoksijanu, Baktriju a na kraju i na sjever Indijskog podkontinenta gdje se vjeruje da su imali ulogu u stvaranju Kušanskog Carstva.
