Needham P. Yates (c. 1818 – March 1870) was a member of the Florida House of Representatives from 1860 to 1862.
He was the son of James Yates and Agnes Rowland.
He was the first Yates in the Shingle Creek community in 1847. His land was homestead land with the deed signed by president Franklin Pierce.
Needham was accused of killing Dave Mizell in Orange County, setting off the Barber–Mizell feud among the Mizells, Barbers, Yateses and Overstreets. Needham was shot dead, along with his sons, Needham and William, in the feud in 1870.
