Yvonne Dorsey-Colomb (born August 19, 1952) is an African-American politician from the state of Louisiana who represents the 14th district in the Louisiana State Senate. A Democrat, she is a former member of the Louisiana House of Representatives, of which she had been chosen Speaker Pro Tempore.[1]

Dorsey-Colomb and her husband, Sterling Colomb, Jr., reside in the capital city of Baton Rouge. Sterling founded the Colomb Foundation to raise awareness of breast cancer. Though John Neely Kennedy, the state treasurer, listed the foundation as not adhering to state laws on disclosing their financial information,[2] a later investigation found the foundation to be in compliance with all state laws.[1]

Dorsey-Colomb is listed among the state and local officials who endorsed the unsuccessful re-election bid in 2014 of Democrat U.S. Senator Mary Landrieu.[3]
