Yeoman er en forældet betegnelse for en fri selvejerbonde i England. Dette svarer til den norske betegnelse odelsbonde.
Militært var odelsbønderne i England og Wales organiseret i Yeomanry regimenter. I dag indgår disse afdelinger i den britiske hærs reserver (Territorial Army).
I nutiden bruges betegnelsen Yeomen også om Yeomen of the Guard, der er den britiske regents ceremonielle livgarde, og om Yeoman Warders, der er den ceremonielle vagtstyrke på Tower of London.

A Yeoman Warder in Tudor State Dress, from a series of Photochrom prints created by the Detroit Publishing Co. between about 1890 and 1900. Although the image makes the common mistake of calling him a Yeoman of the Guard, the Library of Congress clarifies him as a Beefeater, a.k.a. a Yeoman Warder.
