Authorities said 21-year-old Lucian Miu was scrambling on some wet rocks below Bridalveil Fall on Wednesday when he fell about 20 feet. He died at a hospital.
The Fresno Bee said two other people were injured in separate falls in the park this week.
One had hiked to a viewing platform below Bridalveil Fall on Monday and then slipped while climbing up a boulder field towards a pool at the base.
The other slipped off a boulder at Lower Yosemite Fall and fell into a creek on Thursday, becoming trapped underwater between some rocks before managing to escape.
