Yossi (original Hebrew title: הסיפור של יוסי; English transliteration: Ha-Sippur Shel Yossi) is a 2012 drama Israeli film directed by Eytan Fox and written by Itay Segal. It stars Ohad Knoller, Oz Zehavi and Lior Ashkenazi.

Yossi, Fox's fifth feature film, is a sequel to the director's work Yossi & Jagger (2002). The plot takes place a decade after the events in that previous film. It follows the title character, a closeted gay cardiologist who struggles to find meaning in his life while overcoming the loss of his lover and reconciling his past with his future.
