Charles Yohane (26 August 1973 – 14 February 2022) was a Zimbabwean footballer who played as a midfielder.

He was a member of the Zimbabwean 2004 African Nations Cup team, who finished bottom of their group in the first round of competition, thus failing to secure qualification for the quarter-finals. He also participated at the 2006 African Nations Cup, with the same outcome.

He was a coach at the Wits University development team until its collapse in 2020.^[1]

Yohane was carjacked and shot dead, suffering a gunshot in February 2022 while in South Africa working as a delivery driver. His body was found in Mzimhlophe, Soweto, on 14 February 2022. He was 48.^[2]^[3]
