Yuty is a town in the Caazapá Department of Paraguay. Located to 98km to the south of the department capital Caazapa and to 330km to the South East of the national capital Asuncion.

Its name origin has two theories. The first claims it comes from the Guarani terms yu + ty (place of thorns) The second asserts that as the place used to be a reunion site and the natives when asked where they were coming from responded. "Ayu aty hagui" which means "I come from the meeting place" the contraction of that phrase supposedly evolved into the current name Yuty.

It was founded on October 4, 1611 by Spanish missionary Luis de Bolaños with the name of San Francisco de Yuty (Saint Francis of Yuty)

The main local crops are cotton and rice.
