The Asiago Astrophysical Observatory (Osservatorio Astrofisico di Asiago, or Asiago Observatory for short) is an Italian astronomical observatory (IAU code 043) owned and operated by the University of Padua.

Its main instrument is the 1.22-meter Galilei telescope, currently used only for spectrometric observations.

The observatory saw the construction of a 1:1 scale model of the European Extremely Large Telescope's primary mirror.

Cima Ekar also participates in the Asiago-DLR Asteroid Survey, a prominent international dedicated programme to search and follow-up asteroids and comets, with special emphasis on near-Earth objects.
