Yolanda Rat is a female rat who first appeared in The Muppets Take Manhattan, as a friend of Rizzo's applying for a job at Pete's Luncheonette. Rizzo frequently makes passes at Yolanda during the course of the film. Yolanda usually ignores Rizzo by punching him in the stomach, but in the Wedding Finale, they appear to be married.

Yolanda re-appeared in The Muppets: A Celebration of 30 Years (in a formal dress), Muppet Classic Theater, and as a large-scale stage puppet in The Muppet Show On Tour: 2nd Edition.

She was the head of Muppets' Studios in Muppets Studios Presents: You're the Director, where she was named Yolanda Steel.

Yolanda can also be seen in the background in A Muppet Family Christmas and The Muppets at Walt Disney World, and pops up in the background of The Muppet Show Comic Book: Family Reunion, where she is paired with Rizzo.

She briefly appeared in the beginning of The Muppets Kitchen with Cat Cora episode "Movie Night" in 2010, and in "The Reunions Issue" of Entertainment Weekly (incorrectly credited for having been a cast member of The Muppet Show). She has a speaking line in The Muppets Kitchen episode "World's Biggest Sandwich".

She last appeared during the "Life's a Happy Song" finale of 2011's The Muppets beside Beauregard and fellow rats.
