Assas (French pronunciation: [asas] ; Occitan: Assaç or Assats, [aˈsas]) is a town and commune in the Hérault department, region of Occitania, southern France.
Located just north of Montpellier, Assas lies near Saint-Vincent de Barbeyrargues, Guzargues, Clapiers, Jacou, Castries and Teyran. The region near Assas is primarily scrubland, but it is watered by a number of streams and brooks and has a small wooded area that produces mushrooms in the fall.
The village of Assas is organized around the Château d'Assas, located on a hill overlooking the small but quaint old village.
The inhabitants are called Assadins in French.
