Yoyoy Villame (November 18, 1932 - May 18, 2007) born Roman Tesorio Villame, was a Filipino singer, composer, lyricist, and comedian. Villame was a native of Calape, Bohol and was the father of singer Hannah Villame.

Villame blended Filipino folk melodies, popular tunes and nursery rhymes for his music and then added witty lyrics that mixed Tagalog, Cebuano and English in a form of grammar that he concocted. He became a national figure in 1977 with his near anthemic Mag-exercise Tayo, which has been adopted by government agencies and public schools as the official music for their Monday morning exercise after the flag ceremony. His most popular song was Butse Kik, a song written from made-up Chinese-sounding words which Villame allegedly came up with by writing down the names of Chinese stores while waiting for a mechanic to fix his broken-down jeepney in Manila's Chinatown. This song, "Motokoy" is of similar style, in mock-Japanese.

He died of cardiac arrest at the Las PiƱas Medical Center in Metro Manila on May 18, 2007.
