Năsăud (Romanian pronunciation: [nəsəˈud]; German: Nassod, Nußdorf; Hungarian: Naszód) is a town in Bistrița-Năsăud County in Romania located in the historical region of Transylvania.

The town administers two villages, Liviu Rebreanu (until 1958 Prislop; Priszlop) and Lușca (Szamospart).

Another etymology is from Nußdorf (Nussdorf, "walnut tree village"), the Transylvanian Saxon name of the town during the Middle Ages.

A former Habsburg border town known for its border regiments with panache and good schools, Năsăud was the stage for the assembly of 10 September 1848, when the Austrian commander Karl von Urban summoned hundreds of leaders of all 44 districts of the Principality of Transylvania to the town and proclaimed resistance against the Revolution of 1848 and the annexation of Transylvania by Hungary.

Local economic activity revolves around the remittance economy generated by massive outmigration to Spain and Italy during the early 2000s, although the largest industrial employers in textiles and chemicals have been rejuvenated by European Union membership.
