}}Hector Richard "Hec" Yeomans, MM (17 February 1895 – 11 September 1968)[1] was an Australian rules footballer who played with St Kilda and Hawthorn in the Victorian Football League (VFL).[2]

Yeomans was born in Albert Park, Melbourne in 1895, the only child of Richard Eli Yeomans and Norah Teresa Cameron. He enlisted to fight in World War I in January 1916[3] and fought in France, receiving the Military Medal for his actions in the Battle of Mont Saint-Quentin in September 1918.[4]

Yeomans played two games for St Kilda in the 1920 VFL season before leaving to join Hawthorn, then in the Victorian Football Association.[5] He continued to play for Hawthorn when they joined the VFL in 1925 and was their second highest goal-kicker for the year.

After two years on the sidelines, Yeomans joined Brunswick for the 1928 VFA season,[6] but only played a handful of games. He died in 1968.
