Jasim (Arabic: جاسم, also spelled Jasem) is a small city in the Izra' District of the Daraa Governorate in southern Syria.

[2] Jasim is believed to be Gashmai, a place mentioned in the Mosaic of Rehob as a town in the vicinity of Naveh (Nawa).

"[6] Jasim was visited by Arab geographer Yaqut al-Hamawi in the early 13th century under Ayyubid rule.

Prominent 20th-century Arab socialist leader Akram al-Hawrani descends from the tribe, members of which settled in Homs.

[9] In the 1870s Gottlieb Schumacher noted that Jasim was one of the largest villages in its region with a population of 1,000 living in 215 huts.
