Veerasingam Ganeshasangari Yogasangari (died 19 June 1990) was a Sri Lankan Tamil militant, politician and Member of Parliament.

Yogasangari was the son of V. Ganeshasangaree, brother of Tamil United Liberation Front politician V. Anandasangaree.[1]

Yogasangari contested the 1989 parliamentary election as one of the Eelam People's Revolutionary Liberation Front's candidates in Jaffna District and was elected to Parliament.[2]

Yogasangari and other senior members of the EPRLF were assassinated on 19 June 1990 in Kodambakam, Madras, India.[3][4] The assassination was blamed on the rival rebel Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam.[5][6]
