Yuyutsu (Sanskrit: युयुत्सु) is a character in the ancient Hindu epic Mahabharata. He is the son of King Dhritarashtra of the Kuru dynasty, born to a Vaishya-class concubine who serves as a maid to Dhritarashtra's queen, Gandhari. This makes Yuyutsu the paternal half-brother of Duryodhana, the other ninety-nine Kaurava brothers, and their sister Dushala. On the eve of the Kurukshetra War, Yuyutsu defects from the Kaurava camp and joins the Pandavas, becoming the only son of Dhritarashtra to survive the war.
