Albert Kiptoo Yator (6 September 1993 – 5 February 2011)[1] was a Kenyan professional long-distance runner who specialised in the steeplechase.

Born in Iten, he was the brother of a former world junior record holder, Raymond Yator.

[3] Having gained representation with PACE Sports Management, he made his debut on the major European track and field circuit later that year.

His health rapidly worsened and the young athlete died on 5 February at the age of seventeen due to what was later identified as bronchopneumonia.

[8] Noah Ngeny, the 2000 Olympic champion over 1500 metres, paid tribute to Yator, describing him as a "talented runner".
