Youbou (Template:IPAc-en, Script error: No such module "Respell".) is a community located on the north shore of Cowichan Lake, west of Duncan and a 15-minute (13 km) drive west of the community of Lake Cowichan, Canada. The former mill town on Vancouver Island provides a public beach and extensive recreational opportunities, including fishing, boating, and hiking.

Youbou is named after two employees of the Empire Lumber Company which operated the first sawmill there. Mr. Yount was the general manager and Mr. Bouton was the president.[1]Template:Rp

Youbou is one of several towns in the Cowichan Valley with a significant South Asian Canadian population (primarily Sikh-Canadian) community history for over 130 years, gaining significance in the forestry industry in local sawmills from the 1980s to the 20th century.[2]
