Jasień [ˈjaɕɛɲ] (German: Gassen; Lower Sorbian: Gase gase; Upper Sorbian: Gózdne) is a town in western Poland, in Lubusz Voivodeship, in Żary County.
During World War II Jasień was the location of the Nazi German slave labour camp AL Gassen, one of nearly one hundred subcamps of the Gross-Rosen concentration camp.
